Commentary
And when the abundance of evidence is something that brings tranquility to the souls and reassures the hearts, Allah, the Most High, said: "And indeed, this Qur'an, its foundations and many of its stories and the main branches of it, are certainly in the scriptures of the former ones, which are well-preserved and evident in their being, having come from the heavens to their people, to whom the souls have settled that indeed messengers came to them, and laws were legislated for them through books that were revealed to them without this being mixed with anything from them or from others in any knowledge. And this was a decisive proof that what was brought to him was only from Allah, glorified and exalted is He.
