* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَباً أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ آمَنُوۤاْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ قَالَ ٱلْكَافِرُونَ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ مُّبِينٌ }

(Is it a wonder for mankind) for the people of Mecca (that We have inspired a man among them) a human being like them, (saying: Warn mankind) warn the people of Mecca by means of the Qur'an (and bring unto those who believe the good tidings that they have a sure footing) a good reward; it is also said that their faith in the life of this world is their sure footing with their Lord in the Hereafter; it is also said that this means: they have a true prophet; as it is said that this means: they have a true intercessor (with their Lord? The disbelievers) the disbelievers of Mecca (say: Lo! This) Qur'an (is a mere wizard) a mere lie.
