Commentary
They used to say to him: 'Bring a Quran other than this or change it.' So it was said to him: 'And recite what has been revealed to you of the Quran, and do not listen to what they are saying in their request for change. There is no changer of the words of your Lord.' That is: no one is able to change or alter them; only He alone is able to do that. 'And if We change a verse in place of a verse.' And you will not find besides Him a refuge to turn to if you intend that.
