( أوعجبتم ) ألف استفهام دخلت على واو العطف ، ( أن جاءكم ذكر من ربكم ) قال ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : موعظة . وقيل : بيان . وقيل : رسالة . ( على رجل منكم لينذركم ) عذاب الله إن لم تؤمنوا ، ( ولتتقوا ) أي : لكي تتقوا الله ، ( ولعلكم ترحمون ) لكي ترحموا .
' Do you find it strange O people, that revelation and good teaching has come to you from your Lord on the tongue of a man from amongt yourselves whom you know well?! I have grown up amongst you and I have never been a liar or misguided, nor have I come to you from another people. I have come to warn you about the punishment of Allah so that you might follow His instructions and stay away from what He has prohibited hoping that then you would receive Mercy through having faith in Him.'
