Surah Saba — Ayah 53 (34:53)
وَقَدۡ كَفَرُواْ بِهِۦ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَيَقۡذِفُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٥٣
English translation (Saheeh International)
And they had already disbelieved in it before and would assault1 the unseen from a place far away.2
- Verbally, by conjecture and denial.
- i.e., a position far from truth.
Brief commentary
And how will faith be attained for them and accepted from them, when they had disbelieved in it in the worldly life and would suspiciously accuse from a direction far from the truth, thus saying about the Messenger (peace be upon him): magician, soothsayer and poet?
