( أؤنزل عليه الذكر ) القرآن ) ( من بيننا ) وليس بأكبرنا ولا أشرفنا ، يقوله أهل مكة . قال الله عز وجل :
( بل هم في شك من ذكري ) أي وحيي وما أنزلت ، ( بل لما يذوقوا عذاب ) ولو ذاقوه لما قالوا هذا القول .
Is it right that the Qur’ān is revealed to him from amongst us and he is chosen for it, and it is not revealed to us whereas we are great leaders?” But these idolaters are in doubt about the revelation which is revealed to you. And they have not yet tasted the punishment of Allah, so they have been deceived due to their being given respite. If they were to taste it, they would not have the audacity to disbelieve in Allah and doubt what is revealed to you.
