Commentary

And when the intention behind this - and it must be - is the auditory proof; He clarified it by what He caused to arise from His saying: ﴿So bring your book﴾; meaning: the one that was brought to you by that authority from the king; in that he chose for himself that; and it indicated their falsehood implicitly; after He brought it explicitly; and it is the most severe what can be by bringing the tool of doubt in His saying: ﴿If you are truthful﴾; and these verses stem from great wrath; and a terrible denial; and the methods that were mentioned in them are indicative of the foolishness of the claims of that one; and of the ignorance of their souls; and the derangement of their minds; along with mockery; and ridicule; and astonishment that such a thing could cross one's mind; let alone that it be taken as a belief; and pretended to be a doctrine.
