(Ayah7){لَوْ مَا تَاْتِيْنَا بِالْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ : } that the angels should come forward and testify that he is truly Allah’s messenger, so follow him, as Allah has mentioned their demand in several places, He said: «{ وَ قَالُوْا لَوْ لَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ }» [ الأنعام : ۸ ] “And they said, ‘Why has no angel been sent down to him?’” And see Surah Az-Zukhruf (53) and Surah Al-Furqan (21, 22). And it is also possible that when you (ﷺ) warned them of punishment, they demanded punishment by saying {’’ لَوْ مَا تَاْتِيْنَا بِالْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ ‘‘}. (Kabir)
