Has the message been revealed to him out of [all of] us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment.
Tafseer
{ أَأُنزل } بتحقيق الهمزتين وتسهيل الثانية، وإدخال ألف بينهما على الوجهين وتركه { عليه } على محمد { الذكر } أي القرآن { من بيننا } وليس بأكبرنا ولا أشرفنا: أي لم ينزل عليه، قال تعالى: { بل هم في شك من ذكري } وحْيي أي القرآن حيث كذبوا الجائي به { بل لما } لم { يذوقوا عذاب } ولو ذاقوه لصدقوا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما جاء به ولا ينفعهم التصديق حينئذ .
{Has the Reminder} meaning the Qur’an been sent down to him} meaning the greatest of us, nor the most noble of us: meaning it was not sent down to him. God Almighty said: {Rather, they are in doubt about My Reminder} meaning the Qur’an, since they denied the One who brought it. {Rather, when} they did not {taste the punishment}. If they had tasted it, they would have believed the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in what he brought, and belief would not have benefited them then.
