You, O Muhammad, have no concern with those who have become differing parties, sects with regard to their religion. Their case will go to Allah; He will take charge of it and He will requite them for it. One But who are those?

Ayah 6:159 says:
Those who have sundered their religion, by being at variance over it,
Those who are accepting some aspects of their religion and rejecting others, and
Those who have become differing parties, sects with regard to their religion
You, O Muhammad, have no concern with them at all and
Do not be concerned with them O Muhammad
Their case will go to Allah; He will take charge of it, then
He will inform them, in the Hereafter, of what they used to do, and
Allah will requite them for it
