Commentary

And when what they said was the greatest denial indicated by its correctness in their claim regarding him being human like them, and he, with that, is one of their kind, he is not like them, and he is unique, so his thought is not supported by the thought of others until it becomes a place of trust in him. They indicated this with another matter that they also presented in the manner of denial, and they hinted by their words that in his hastiness, it was as if he had fallen from a height. They said: "Was he thrown?" meaning that he descended suddenly in haste because he was not among them in the context of this matter, and they had not consulted about it before he came to them with anything of it. Rather, he came to them suddenly in utmost haste. And since throwing is generally for bodies, to dispel this misconception, it is more appropriate to present the representative of the doer, contrary to what was previously stated in Surah Sad. They said: "The reminder" meaning: the revelation by which there is the greatest honor, and they expressed this to indicate that such a thing that he claimed cannot be said except by a prevailing decree and a dominating matter. So he said: "Upon him" and they indicated the aspect of astonishment and denial by specifying their words: "From among us" meaning: and among us is one who is more worthy of that in age, honor, and nobility.

And when this question was of an accusatory nature meaning denial, they turned away from it with their words in the form of a conclusion, in addition to what the question implied, as if to say: the matter is not as he claimed: "Rather, he is" for what we have presented of the doubts: "A liar" meaning: eloquent in lying. "Arrogant" meaning: joyful, overwhelmed by idleness to the extent that he became enamored with himself in joy and arrogance and was active in that until he became like a saw that is dedicated to cutting, prepared for it, coarse in matter, ill-mannered, and he seeks to elevate himself.
