Commentary

Rather, they have denied. This is a continuation of the first statement, indicating that they have brought forth something more dreadful than their astonishment, which is the denial of the truth that is the prophethood established by miracles at first glance, without reflection or contemplation. So they are in a state of confusion and turmoil. It is said: the ring has become loose on his finger and is moving. They say at one time: poet, at another: magician, and at another: soothsayer; they do not remain firm on one thing. And it has been recited: when it came to them, with a kasra on the lam, which is the same lam as in their saying: when five have passed. That is, at the time of its coming to them. It is said that by the truth is meant: the Qur'an. And it is said: the news of resurrection.
