quran:17:74 –

And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little.

And if We had not made you ˹stand˺ firm, upon the Truth, by way of ˹divine˺ protection (‘isma), certainly you might have, you nearly, inclined to them a little, because of the extent of their deception and their persistence. This ˹statement˺ is explicit about the fact that the Prophet (s) neither inclined nor came close to doing so.
القرآن:١٧:٧٤ –

وَلَوْلَا أَنْ ثَبَّتْنَاكَ لَقَدْ كِدْتَ تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا قَلِيلًا

{ولولا أن ثبتناك} على الحق بالعصمة {لقد كدت} قاربت {تركن} تميل {إليهم شيئا} ركونا {قليلاً} لشدة احتيالهم وإلحاحهم، وهو صريح في أنه ﷺ لم يركن ولا قارب.
