47. Or do they have [23] knowledge of the unseen, which they write down?
[23] That is, have they lifted the veil of the unseen and seen that he is not a messenger sent by Allah? Or does revelation come to them from Allah that whatever their religion is, it is correct and true? After all, there must be some reasonable cause for their intense opposition.
