Commentary
‘Asaatiiru – (fables), this word is plural of ‘ustuuratun,
which has passed earlier. Fable means “a fictitious narration intended to
enforce some useful truth, a moral story”.
Tum-laa – (are dictated, are read aloud to be
written down, are communicated authoritatively). This word has been derived
from ‘imlaa-‘un, came out from mal-wun. Mal-wun means: to
stay. ‘Imlaa-‘un means “to do any work step by step”. Here it aims: To
recite and cause to hear again and again.
Infidels of Makkah were desirous to seize Islam in all conditions.
For this purpose, they were not shy of telling a clear lie. They used to say:
Jewish slaves used to tell him, the Messenger, (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) old fables and he copies them. Those foolish people did not
have sense that while the Jews were unable to speak the Arabic language clearly,
then how could they dictate such fables in so much polished and eloquent compositions?
From resisting the style of Holy Qur’an, great masters of
Arabic language had been rendered helpless also. Great eloquent and elegant lecturers
and poets had bowed before his (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) superior
language. These hard worker slaves, who did not have any chance of learning polished
and eloquent language, used to either serve and attend their masters only or
make some things of iron like blacksmiths or prepare wooden goods like
carpenters. How could they know writing such grand dictations, which is a
peculiarity of Holy Qur’an? But they could not think so due to their
blind religious persecution. In the beginning, some number of believers used to
attend the court of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) both times – morning and evening, and he recite before them currently
revealed verses of Holy Qur’an. Upon this, the infidels made up a story
that “he (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) gets the fables
written down during the whole day from others and those are dictated before the
companions in the morning and the evening by new ways.
