وَ قَدۡ مَکَرَ الَّذِیۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِہِمۡ فَلِلّٰہِ الۡمَکۡرُ جَمِیۡعًا ؕ یَعۡلَمُ مَا تَکۡسِبُ کُلُّ نَفۡسٍ ؕ وَ سَیَعۡلَمُ الۡکُفّٰرُ لِمَنۡ عُقۡبَی الدَّارِ ﴿۴۲﴾
And those before them had plotted, but to Allah belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home.
وَ یَقُوۡلُ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا لَسۡتَ مُرۡسَلًا ؕ قُلۡ کَفٰی بِاللّٰہِ شَہِیۡدًۢا بَیۡنِیۡ وَ بَیۡنَکُمۡ ۙ وَ مَنۡ عِنۡدَہٗ عِلۡمُ الۡکِتٰبِ ﴿٪۴۳﴾
And those who have disbelieved say, “You are not a messenger.” Say, [O Muhammad], “Sufficient is Allah as Witness between me and you, and [the witness of] whoever has knowledge of the Scripture.”

Tafsir Ibn Kathir:-
Sura:- Ar-Ra’d
Sura: 13
Verses :- 42-43
وَقَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
And verily, those before them did devise plots,
The Disbelievers plot, but the Believers gain the Good End
Allah says,
وَقَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
And verily, those before them did devise plots,
against their Messengers, they wanted to expel them from their land, but Allah devised plots against the disbelievers and gave the good end to those who fear Him.
Allah said in other Ayat,
وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَـكِرِينَ
And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out; they were plotting and Allah too was plotting; and Allah is the Best of those who plot. (8:30)
and,
وَمَكَرُواْ مَكْراً وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْراً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَـهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
So they plotted a plot, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not. Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily, We destroyed them and their nation, all together. (27:50,51)
فَلِلّهِ الْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًا
but all planning is Allah’s.
Allah said next,
يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ
He knows what every person earns,
meaning, He alone knows all secrets and concealed thoughts and will reckon each person according to his work,
وَسَيَعْلَمُ الْكُفَّارُ
and the Kuffar (disbeliever) will know ,
لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
who gets the good end.
who will earn the ultimate and final victory, they or the followers of the Messengers. Indeed, the followers of the Messengers will earn the good end in this life and the Hereafter, all thanks and praise is due to Allah.
Allah and those who have Knowledge of the Scripture are Sufficient as Witness to the Message of the Prophet
Allah says,
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
And those who disbelieved, say:
Allah says, the disbelievers reject you and say,
لَسْتَ مُرْسَلً
You are not a Messenger. (from Allah),
قُلْ كَفَى بِاللّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ
Say:”Sufficient as a witness between me and you is Allah…”
meaning, say, `Allah is sufficient for me and He is the witness over me and you. He is witness that I (Muhammad) have conveyed the Message from Him and over you, O rejecters, to the falsehood that you invent.’
Allah said,
وَمَنْ عِندَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ
and those too who have knowledge of the Scripture.
This refers to Abdullah bin Salam, according to Mujahid.
However, this opinion is not plausible, since this Ayah was revealed in Makkah and Abdullah bin Salam embraced Islam soon after the Prophet emigrated to Al-Madinah.
A more suitable explanation is that narrated by Al-Awfi from Ibn Abbas that;
this Ayah refers to Jews and Christians.
Qatadah said that;
among them are, Abdullah bin Salam, Salman (Al-Farisi) and Tamim Ad-Dari.
The correct view is that this Ayah,
وَمَنْ عِندَهُ
(and those too who have. ..),
refers to the scholars of the People of the Scriptures who find the description of Muhammad in their Books and the good news of his advent that were conveyed to them by their Prophets.
Allah said in other Ayat,
وَرَحْمَتِى وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُوْتُونَ الزَّكَـوةَ وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِـَايَـتِنَا يُوْمِنُونَ
الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِىَّ الاُمِّىَّ الَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى التَّوْرَاةِ وَالاِنجِيلِ
And My mercy embraces all things. That (mercy) I shall ordain for those who have Taqwa, and give Zakah; and those who believe in Our Ayat; Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write whom they find written with them in the Tawrah and the Injil). (7:156-157)
and,
أَوَلَمْيَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُ عُلَمَاءُ بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ
It is not a sign to them that the learned scholars of the Children of Israel knew it (as true). (26:197)
There are similar Ayat that affirm that the scholars of the Children of Israel know this fact from their divinely revealed Books.
This is the end of Surah Ar-Ra’d, and all praise is due to Allah and all favors are from Him.
