Surah Tur ayat 30 Tafsir Quran 52:30

﴿أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ﴾
[ الطور: 30]

52:30 Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?"

Or am means bal do they say that he is ‘A poet for whom we may await the accidents of fate?’ the vicissitudes of time so that he will just die like other poets.

Or do they insolently say: He is a poet, he can fool the people some of the time; we will keep him in view to observe his actions until the encounter with death

Absolving the Prophet of the False Accusations the Idolators made against Him Allah the Exalted commands His Messenger to convey His Message to His servants and remind them of His revelation that has been sent down to him.
Next, Allah refutes the false accusations that the liars and sinners accused the Prophet of, فَذَكِّرْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِكَـهِنٍ وَلاَ مَجْنُونٍ ( Therefore, remind.
By the grace of Allah, you are neither a Kahin nor a madman. ) Allah says, `by the grace of Allah, you, O Muhammad, are not a Kahin, as the ignorant Quraysh idolators claim.' A Kahin is the soothsayer who receives information from the Jinns that the Jinns are able to eavesdrop on news from heaven, وَلاَ مَجْنُونٍ ( nor a madman ) whom Shaytan has possessed with insanity.
Allah the Exalted said, while chastising the pagans for uttering false statements about the Prophet , أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ ( Or do they say: "A poet! We await for him some calamity by time!" ) They said, `We await a disaster to strike him, for example, death.
We will be patient with him until death comes to him and we, thus, get rid of his bother and from his Message.' Allah the Exalted said, قُلْ تَرَبَّصُواْ فَإِنِّى مَعَكُمْ مِّنَ الْمُتَرَبِّصِينَ ( Say: "Wait! I am with you among those who wait!" ) `wait and I too will wait with you, and you will come to know to whom the good end and triumph shall be granted in this life and the Hereafter.' Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that `Abdullah bin Abi Najih said that Mujahid said that Ibn `Abbas said, "When the Quraysh gathered in the Dar An-Nadwah ( their meeting place ) to discuss the matter of the Prophet, one of them said, `Jail him in chains.
Then we will wait and in time, a calamity will strike him; he will die just as the poets before him died, such as Zuhayr and An-Nabighah, for he is a poet just like them.' Allah the Exalted said in response to their statement, أَمْ يَقُولُونَ شَاعِرٌ نَّتَرَبَّصُ بِهِ رَيْبَ الْمَنُونِ ( Or do they say: "A poet! We await for him some calamity by time!" )" Allah the Exalted said, أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَـمُهُمْ بِهَـذَآ ( Or do their minds command them this ), `do their minds command them to tell these lies against you ( O Muhammad ), even though they know in their hearts that they are untrue and false,' أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ ( or are they people transgressing all bounds ) `surely, they are misguided, stubborn and unjust people, and this is why they say what they say about you ( O Muhammad ).
' Allah the Exalted said, أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُ ( Or do they say: "He has forged it" ) They said, `he has forged this Qur'an and brought it from his own.' Allah the Exalted responded to them, بَل لاَّ يُؤْمِنُونَ ( Nay! They believe not! ), meaning, their disbelief drives them to utter these statements, فَلْيَأْتُواْ بِحَدِيثٍ مِّثْلِهِ إِن كَانُواْ صَـدِقِينَ ( Let them then produce a recitation like unto it if they are truthful. ) meaning, if they are truthful in their statement that Muhammad ﷺ has forged this Qur'an and brought it of his own, then let them produce something similar to what he has brought forth, as in this Qur'an! And even if they combine their strength to that of the people of the earth, Jinns and mankind alike, they will never produce something like the Qur'an, or ten Surahs like it, or even one Surah!

(52:30) Or do they say: 'He is a poet for whom we await an adverse turn of fortune.' *23

Or do they say [of you], "A meaning

*23) That is, " We arc waiting for him to be afflicted with calamity so that we be rid of him.
" Probably they thought that since Muhammad ( upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings ) was opposing their deities and denying their supernatural powers, he would fall under the curse of some deity, or some bold devotee of a god would put an end to him.

( Or say they ) in fact, the disbelievers of Mecca-Abu Jahl, al-Walid Ibn al-Mughirah and their hosts-say: ( (he is ) a poet) who invents things, ( (one ) for whom we may expect the accident of time) we wait to see him suffer the pangs of death?

Or do they say: "(Muhammad SAW is) a poet! We await for him some calamity by time!
