The third is that the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) was sent with it to give glad tidings and warnings, and he himself was from among the Arabs, so that he could recite it and demonstrate its practice.

By this is meant the Quraysh and other hostile disbelievers. See Surah Zukhruf (57, 58).

[83] By "a stubborn people" are meant the obstinate, quarrelsome, and argumentative chiefs of the Quraysh, who were accustomed to finding fault in everything. It is they who are being warned here that many nations like yours have been so utterly destroyed by Us that not a trace of them remains on the face of the earth. And today, not even a whisper of their arrogance, insolence, and boastful talk can be heard.
