* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ لَوْلاۤ أُوتِيَ مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ أُوتِيَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ قَالُواْ سِحْرَانِ تَظَاهَرَا وَقَالُواْ إِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كَافِرُونَ }

But when the truth namely Muhammad (s) came to them from Us they said ‘Why has he not been given the like of what Moses was given?’ in the way of signs such as the glowing hand the staff and others or by having the Book revealed all at once. God exalted be He says And did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses before?; before when they said regarding him and Muhammad (s) ‘Two sorcerers sāhirān; a variant reading has sihrān ‘two sorceries’ namely what they said regarding the Qur’ān and the Torah abetting each other.’ And they said ‘We indeed disbelieve in both’ the two prophets and the two Scriptures of Moses and Muhammad.
