* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

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

(Or say they) rather, the disbelievers of Mecca say: (He hath invented it) Muhammad (pbuh) invented the Qur'an himself? (Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Then bring a surah like unto it) like the surahs of the Qur'an, (and call (for help) on all ye can) seek help for this purpose from those idols you worship (besides Allah, if ye are truthful) that Muhammad (pbuh) has invented the Qur'an.
