So (if they, despite all the evidence We have put forth in support of the truth of the Message that you, O Messenger, are conveying to them, still refuse to accept it), leave them alone, immersed in their ignorance and heedlessness until an appointed time
But leave them in their overwhelming ignorance for a time
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
Therefore, leave them O Muhammad for the time swimming in the depth of error and ignorance which have reached up unto heaven, there is a fitting point of time for every event
But they (their followers) divided their (religious) affairs among themselves (becoming different) sects, each party being happy with that which was with it.
