Tafsir

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

Al-Anbya 21:5

Word by word

بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَـٰثُ أَحْلَـٰمٍۭ بَلِ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِـَٔايَةٍ كَمَآ أُرْسِلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( بل قالوا أضغاث أحلام بل افتراه ) هذا إخبار عن تعنت الكفار وإلحادهم ، واختلافهم فيما يصفون به القرآن ، وحيرتهم فيه ، وضلالهم عنه . فتارة يجعلونه سحرا ، وتارة يجعلونه شعرا ، وتارة يجعلونه أضغاث أحلام ، وتارة يجعلونه مفترى ، كما قال : ( انظر كيف ضربوا لك الأمثال فضلوا فلا يستطيعون سبيلا ) [ الإسراء : 48 ، والفرقان : 9 ] .وقوله : ( فليأتنا بآية كما أرسل الأولون ) : يعنون ناقة صالح ، وآيات موسى وعيسى . وقد قال الله تعالى : ( وما منعنا أن نرسل بالآيات إلا أن كذب بها الأولون وآتينا ثمود الناقة مبصرة فظلموا بها ) [ الآية ] [ الإسراء : 59 ]
