فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ جَآءُو بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُنِيرِ ﴿184﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

Then if they reject you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), so were Messengers rejected before you, who came with Al-Bayyinât (clear signs, proofs, evidence) and the Scripture and the Book of Enlightenment.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

After responding to the mockery and objections of the Jews, the Prophet ﷺ is comforted that if these people are rejecting you by raising such doubts, it is not something to grieve over, because they have treated many prophets before you in the same way. By { ”بِالْبَيِّنٰتِ“ }, both rational arguments and miracles are meant. { ”الزُّبُرِ“ } is the plural of Zabur; by this are meant those small scriptures in which there were exhortations to goodness, prohibitions from evil, and words of wisdom and insight. The book that was given to Dawud (David) عليه السلام, the Qur’an has also called it "Zabur," because it also prominently features these aspects. And in the terminology of the Qur’an, {”الْكِتٰبِ“} refers to that major book in which there are rulings, commands, and all other matters, but among these books, except for the Qur’an, no other book was given a status of inimitability (such that there would be a challenge to bring a surah like it in comparison to any of its surahs).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

184. 1. The Prophet ﷺ is being consoled that he ﷺ should not be disheartened by the obstinacy of the Jews; such treatment is not being done only to him ﷺ, the same has happened with the prophets who came before him ﷺ as well.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

Yet if they deny you, (O Prophet), so indeed messengers before you were also denied, who came with clear proofs, scriptures, and the enlightening Book [182].

[182] In this verse, by ﴿بينات﴾ is meant miracles. "Zubur" refers to small books and admonitions, and "Kitaab Muneer" means such a comprehensive book in which commands and prohibitions, ethics, stories, and admonitions are all present, such as the Torah and the Noble Quran. That is, the Jews killed the prophets who offered the fiery sacrifice, and many messengers who brought miracles, admonitions, and comprehensive books—they continued to deny them as well. Therefore, if they are denying you too, you should not be surprised; rather, you should act with patience.
