19. 2. That is, some great miracle according to their wishes, like the staff of Musa عليه السلام, the raising of the dead, or the she-camel of Thamud, etc.
19. 3. Their demand for such supernatural signs is out of stubbornness and obstinacy, not with the intention of seeking guidance. However, the manifestation of these signs is entirely in Allah's control; if He wills, He can fulfill their demand. In some mursal narrations, it is mentioned that the disbelievers demanded that the mountain of Safa be turned into gold, and then they would believe. Upon this, Jibril عليه السلام came and said that if they still did not believe after that, then they would be destroyed, which the Prophet ﷺ did not approve of. (Ibn Kathir)

The Demand of a Miracle by the Disbelievers of Makkah and the Response to This Demand:
The disbelievers of Makkah used to say that if Mount Safa were to become pure gold, then surely they would believe, and some Muslims thought that if their argument were fulfilled, it would be a good thing. This verse takes this background into account. Allah instructed His Prophet to give a clear refusal to these disbelievers and say that showing such a miracle is within Allah’s power; I have no authority in this matter. And He addressed the Muslims, saying: How do you know that if such a miracle were shown to them, these people would definitely believe? These people are so wretched that even if they see any miracle, they will not believe. Therefore, do not expect any good from them in any way.
