سُوْرَةُ الْفُرْقَانِ
Surah Al-Furqaan (25) — Ayah 8
أَوْ يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا ﴿8﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
"Or (why) has not a treasure been granted to him, or why has he not a garden whereof he may eat?" And the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) say: "You follow none but a man bewitched."

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.
(Ayah 8) ➊ { اَوْ يُلْقٰۤى اِلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ:} Or a treasure is sent down to him, by which his status would at least be like that of Caesar and Chosroes.
➋ {اَوْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ جَنَّةٌ يَّاْكُلُ مِنْهَا:} Or if not a treasure, at least he would have a garden, so that he could obtain assured sustenance from this garden and be spared from having to go around the markets to earn a living. An even longer list of such demands from the disbelievers is mentioned in Surah Bani Isra'il (90 to 93).
➌ { وَ قَالَ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ اِنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَ اِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُوْرًا :} This is the same thing Pharaoh said to Musa (peace be upon him). See Bani Isra'il (101).

An even longer list of such demands from the disbelievers is mentioned in Surah Bani Isra'il (90 to 93).
