16.103

وَ لَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ اَنَّهُمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ اِنَّمَا یُعَلِّمُهٗ بَشَرٌؕ-لِسَانُ الَّذِیْ یُلْحِدُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ اَعْجَمِیٌّ وَّ هٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِیٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ(103)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And We certainly know that they (the disbelievers) say, “A man teaches him.” The language of he to whom they ascribe this is foreign, and this (Quran) is clear Arabic language.[1]

Commentary

The disbelievers of Makkah claimed that a non-Arab taught the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم the Quran. This verse was revealed as a refutation of that baseless claim, pointing out its illogical nature, because as a non-Arab, it would be impossible for that person to construct such an eloquent and literally rich Arabic text. Eloquent orators and rhetoricians—in whose discourse the Arabs take great pride—are dumbfounded; and producing even a few sentences similar to the Quran is impossible for them. So how baseless and obstinate it is to ascribe this to a non-Arab.
