Our dear Raul has no clue about the difference between a جمع و مفرد This does not stop him from pontificating about Arabic

Prove it and the following will be accepted as evidence:

1. Lisan al-'Arab dictionary

2. Tafsir al-Tabari

3. Tafsir ibn Kathir

4. Tafsir al-Qurtubi

The following will not be accepted as evidence:

1. Translation be the shameless Sahih International

2. Zakir Naik or Ahmad Deedat said so

3. Only Arabic/Arabic dictionaries will be accepted

BTW the word is اولياء therefore it is جمع However, because you are totally ignorant of the Arabic language grammar the word صديق, which is مفرد It should be اصدقاء This means that you are copy-paste wrong and poor grammar! I don't think you got this one

But I will help you: al-Tabari is the earliest extant tafsir so let us see what he says and I selected Q8:72 because it talks about Muslims becoming اولياء to others

So it says: Blah...blah blah أُولَٰئِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ

This can be rendered as: Those some of them 'awlya' some

I left the word 'awlya' untranslated and this is what al-Tabari wrote about the meaning of the word 'awliya'

1. يعني المهاجرين والأنصار, بعضهم أنصار بعض

2. وأعوان على من سواهم من المشركين

3. وأيديهم واحدة على من كفر بالله,

4. وبعضهم إخوان لبعض دون أقربائهم الكفار

Oh the Arabic? Ask your Mullah to translate it for you It is your problem if you cannot read Arabic

For the readers: al-Tabari is saying that the word 'awliya' means: FRIENDSHIP and brotherhood, supporters and one hand

Oh there will be more. I only scratched the surface

Your Allah telling you not to be friends with non Muslims is HATE and evil
