God and His angels support the prophet. O you who acknowledge, you shall support him, and yield completely.
Translation endnotes
[33:56] This verse is one of the most distorted and abused verses. We translated the word salli ala as "support/encourage." The same word occurs at 33:43 and 9:99,103. When these verses are studied comparatively, the traditional abuse and distortion becomes evident. Through this distortion, Muslim masses are led to commemorate and praise Muhammed's name day and night, rather than his Lord's and Master's name (33:41-42). Also, see 2:157; 2:136; and 3:84.
