* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا يَعْلَمُ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمُرْسَلُونَ }

They said ‘Our Lord knows qālū rabbunā ya‘lamu functions like an oath. Emphasis is intensified by this oath and also by the addition of the lām to what was before simply mursalūna ‘we have been sent’ to counter their intensified denial that we have indeed been sent to you by Him!
