سُوْرَةُ الرُّوْمِ
Surah Ar-Room (30) — Ayah 58
وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَلَئِن جِئْتَهُم بِـَٔايَةٍ لَّيَقُولَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا مُبْطِلُونَ ﴿58﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And indeed We have set forth for mankind, in this Qur’ân every kind of parable. But if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) bring to them any sign or proof (as an evidence for the truth of your Prophethood), the disbelievers are sure to say (to the believers): "You follow nothing but falsehood, and magic."

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.
58-1 From which the affirmation of Allah's oneness and the truthfulness of the messengers becomes clear, and likewise, the refutation of shirk and the manifestation of its falsehood become evident.
58-2 Whether it is any proof presented by the Noble Quran or any miracle, etc., according to their wishes.
58-3 That is, followers of magic, etc. The meaning is that even if they see the greatest sign and the clearest proof, still they will by no means believe. Why? Its reason has been stated ahead: that Allah has set a seal upon their hearts, which is a sign that their disbelief and rebellion have reached the ultimate limit, after which all paths of return to the truth are closed for them.
