Surah Al-Baqara (2) — Ayah 97
قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُۥ نَزَّلَهُۥ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿97﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Whoever is an enemy to Jibrîl (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur’ân) down to your heart by Allâh’s Permission, confirming what came before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and guidance and glad tidings for the believers.

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
97. 1. In the hadith, it is mentioned that some Jewish scholars came to the Prophet ﷺ and said that if you ﷺ give the correct answer to their questions, they will believe, because no one except a prophet can answer them. When you ﷺ gave the correct answers to their questions, they asked, "Who brings revelation to you ﷺ?" You replied, "Jibreel." The Jews said, "Jibreel is our enemy; he is the one who brings punishment." And using this excuse, they refused to accept your ﷺ prophethood. (Ibn Kathir and Fath al-Qadeer)
