Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 12563 — concerning this saying of Allah

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي اللَّيْثٍ، ثنا الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: {وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَى} [الرعد: ٣١] قَالَ: " قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنْ كَانَ كَمَا تَقُولُ: فَأَرِنَا أَشْيَاخَ‍نَا الْأُوَلَ مِنَ الْمَوْتَى نُكَلِّمْهُمْ، وَافْتَحْ لَنَا هَذِهِ الْجِبَالَ جِبَالَ مَكَّةَ الَّتِي قَدْ ضَمَّتْنَا "، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْآنًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتَى} [الرعد: ٣١]
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "And if there were a Qur'an by which the mountains were set in motion, or the earth were cut asunder, or the dead were made to speak" [Al-Ra'd: 31]: The polytheists said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "If it is as you say, then show us our earliest elders who have died so that we may speak to them, and open up for us these mountains, the mountains of Makkah that have hemmed us in." So this verse was revealed: "And if there were a Qur'an by which the mountains were set in motion, or the earth were cut asunder, or the dead were made to speak" [Al-Ra'd: 31].
