* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَـٰذَا نَحْنُ وَآبَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلاَّ أَسَاطِيرُ ٱلأَوَّلِينَ }

Already we and our fathers have been promised this before. But these are just the legendary fables of the ancients’ asātīr is the plural of ustūra meaning ‘what has been written down mā sutira of lies’.
