Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Isra 17:88

Word by word

قُل لَّئِنِ ٱجْتَمَعَتِ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَأْتُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِۦ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا

Say, "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’ān, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم نبه تعالى على شرف هذا القرآن العظيم ، فأخبر أنه لو اجتمعت الإنس والجن كلهم ، واتفقوا على أن يأتوا بمثل ما أنزله على رسوله ، لما أطاقوا ذلك ولما استطاعوه ، ولو تعاونوا وتساعدوا وتظافروا ، فإن هذا أمر لا يستطاع ، وكيف يشبه كلام المخلوقين كلام الخالق ، الذي لا نظير له ، ولا مثال له ، ولا عديل له ؟ !وقد روى محمد بن إسحاق عن محمد بن أبي محمد ، عن سعيد [ بن جبير ] أو عكرمة ، عن ابن عباس : إن هذه الآية نزلت في نفر من اليهود ، جاءوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقالوا له : إنا نأتيك بمثل ما جئتنا به ، فأنزل الله هذه الآية .وفي هذا نظر ؛ لأن هذه السورة مكية ، وسياقها كله مع قريش ، واليهود إنما اجتمعوا به في المدينة . فالله أعلم .
