* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَاهُ قُلْ فَأْتُواْ بِسُورَةٍ مِّثْلِهِ وَٱدْعُواْ مَنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ }

Or do they say ‘He has invented it’? Muhammad (s) has invented it. Say ‘Then bring a sūra like it in terms of the clarity and the rhetorical excellence of its language by way of invention for you are eloquent speakers of Arabic like me; and call upon whom you can for help in this matter besides God that is other than Him if you are truthful’ in saying that this is an invention. But they were not able to do this.
