Allah, the Exalted, informs about the disbelievers in their statement,

{Why does not} This means, ‘Why doesn’t Muhammad bring us some proof from his Lord?’ They meant a sign that was proof of his truthfulness in his claim that he was the Messenger of Allah. Allah, the Exalted, said,

This means the Qur’an which Allah revealed to him while he was an unlettered man who could not write well and who did not study with the People of the Book. Yet, the Qur’an contains information about the people of the past that tells of their events from times long ago and it agrees with the authentic information in the previous Books concerning these matters. The Qur’an is the supervisor of these other Books. It verifies what is correct and explains the mistakes that were falsely placed in these Books and attributed to them. This Ayah is similar to Allah’s statement in Surat Al-‘Ankabut,

{And they say: "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a plain wamer." It is not sufficient for them that We have sent down to you the Book which is recited to them? Verily, herein is mercy and a reminder for a people who believe.} [29:50-51]

In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah said,

“Tliere was not any Prophet except that he was given signs that caused men to believe. That which I have been given is a revelation that Allah has revealed to me, so I hope that I have the most followers among them (the Prophets) on the Day of Resurrection.”

In this Hadith, the Prophet only mentioned the greatest of the signs that he was given, which is the Qur’an. However, he did have other miracles, which were innumerable and limitless. These miracles have all been recorded in the books that discuss them, and they have been affirmed in the places that mention them.

Then Allah says,

This means, “If We had destroyed these rejecting people before We sent this Noble Messenger to them and revealed the Mighty Book to them, they would have said,

meaning, ‘before you destroyed us, so we could have believed in him and followed him.’ This is like Allah said,

Allah, the Exalted, explains that these rejecters are stubborn and obstinate and they will not believe.

{Even if every sign should come them, until they see the paitifid torment.} [10:97]

This is as Allah says,

Until His statement,

Allah also says,

{And they swore by Allah their most binding oath that if a wamer came to them, they would be more guided than any of the nations (before them).} [35:42]

{And they swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if there came to them a sign, they would surely believe therein.} [6:109] to the completion of those Aydt.

Then, Allah says,

“Say, O Muhammad, to those who deny you, oppose you and continue in their disbelief and obstinance.”

{Each one is waiting,} among you and us;

{so wait you too;} This is a command to await (anticipate).

This means the straight road.

meaning guidance to the truth and the path of right guidance. This is similar to Allah’s statement,

{And they will know, when they see the torment, who it is that is most astray from the path!} [25:42]

And Allah said,

{Tomorrow they will come to know who is liar, the insolent one!} [54:26]
