And when this Qur'an was the greatest favor, which He, glorified and exalted is He, brought to them, it became obligatory for them to be grateful for it, for the One who revealed it and for the honor of the one who brought it to them. It was a reason for their direct engagement in denying it and causing harm to the one who brought it to them, which necessitates their punishment. He said, indicating the strength of His plot, glorified and exalted is He, and the precision of His entrapment, adding to what He decrees for the clarification that they engage in what destroys them by their own choice without any necessity: Was their denial of this reminder due to something in it that they doubt? His saying is a denial against them, clarifying that their denial is merely due to a nature of stubbornness and malice, with no desire for it nor any suspicion: 'Or do you ask them,' O you who are the most honorable of creation and the highest in aspirations, 'for a reward' for conveying it to them? 'So they,' meaning they caused from that and followed up that they 'are burdened' by its heaviness upon them, so much so that it necessitated for them that deficient burden upon their wealth to refrain from believing in what you have brought to them from Us, so they became eager for you to cease from it.
