Commentary
They have given you examples, meaning: they have said those words about you and invented for you those rare attributes and conditions, of a prophecy shared between a human and a king. And casting a treasure upon you from the heavens and other than that, so they remained confused in misguidance, not finding a saying on which to settle. Or they have deviated from the truth, so they do not find a way to it.
