Quran 25:7 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn


And they also say ‘What is it with this Messenger that he eats food and walks about in the marketplaces? Why has an angel not been sent down to him so as to be a warner along with him? and confirm his truthfulness.


Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim


And they foolishly say: What kind of a Messenger is this who eats food and moves about and comes and goes from place to place on foot! if only an angel be sent down to accompany him and share his duty and help him accomplish his purpose of warning people against infidelity

Quran 25:7 Tafsir Ibn Kathir


What the Disbelievers said about the Messenger , refutation of Their Words, and Their ultimate Destiny Allah tells us about the disbelievers' stubborn resistance to and rejection of the truth, with no proof or evidence for doing so.
Their excuse was, as they said: مَا لِهَـذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ ( Why does this Messenger eat food, ) meaning, `as we eat, and why does he need food as we need it' وَيَمْشِى فِى الاٌّسْوَاقِ ( and walk about in the markets. ) means, he walks around and goes there often seeking to trade and earn a living. لَوْلا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُ نَذِيراً ( Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him ) They were saying: why doesn't an angel come down to him from Allah, to be a witness that what he is claiming is true This is like when Fira`wn said: فَلَوْلاَ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ الْمَلَـئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ ( "Why then are not golden bracelets bestowed on him, or angels sent along with him" ) ( 43:53 ).
These people had a similar mentality and said the same kind of thing.
They said: أَوْ يُلْقَى إِلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ ( Or (why ) has not a treasure been granted to him) meaning, treasure that he could spend on his needs and wants. أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ( or why has he not a garden whereof he may eat ) meaning, a garden that would go with him wherever he went.
All of this is easy for Allah, but He had a reason for not doing any of these things, and with Him is the perfect proof and argument. وَقَالَ الظَّـلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلاَّ رَجُلاً مَّسْحُوراً ( And the wrongdoers say: "You follow none but a man bewitched." ) Allah said: انْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ الاٌّمْثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ ( See how they coin similitudes for you, so they have gone astray, ) meaning, they accused you and belied you when they said that you were a sorcerer or bewitched or crazy or a liar or a poet, but all of these are false ideas.
Everyone who has the slightest understanding will recognize that they are lying.
Allah says: فُضِّلُواْ ( so they have gone astray ) from the path of guidance. فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعْونَ سَبِيلاً ( and they cannot find a path. ) Everyone who steps outside of the way of truth and guidance has gone astray, no matter what direction he takes, because the truth is one and its methodology is unified, parts of it confirming other parts.
Then Allah tells His Prophet that if He willed, He could bestow on him in this world something far better than what they were saying.
He said: تَبَارَكَ الَّذِى إِن شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْراً مِّن ذلِكَ ( Blessed be He Who, if He wills, will assign you better than (all ) that...) Mujahid said, "This means in this world." And he said: "The Quraysh used to call every house that was made of stone a `palace', whether it was large or small." بَلْ كَذَّبُواْ بِالسَّاعَةِ ( Nay, they deny the Hour, ) means, they say this in stubborn disbelief, not because they are seeking insight and guidance, but because their disbelief in the Day of Resurrection makes them say what they say. وَأَعْتَدْنَا ( And We have prepared ) means, `We have made ready,' لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيراً ( for those who deny the Hour, a flaming Fire. ) means, an unbearably hot and painful torment in the fire of Hell. إِذَا رَأَتْهُمْ ( When it sees them ) means, when Hell sees them, مِن مَّكَانِ بَعِيدٍ ( from a far place, ) means from the place of gathering ( on the Day of Resurrection ), سَمِعُواْ لَهَا تَغَيُّظاً وَزَفِيراً ( they will hear its raging and its roaring. ) means, ( it will make those sounds ) out of hatred towards them.
This is like the Ayah, إِذَآ أُلْقُواْ فِيهَا سَمِعُواْ لَهَا شَهِيقًا وَهِىَ تَفُورُ تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الغَيْظِ ( When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible ) drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth.
It almost bursts up with fury) ( 67:7-8 ), which means that parts of it almost separate from other parts because of its intense hatred towards those who disbelieved in Allah.
Imam Abu Ja`far bin Jarir narrated that Ibn `Abbas said: "A man will be dragged towards Hell, which will be expanding and contracting, and Ar-Rahman will say to it: `What is the matter with you' It will say: `He is seeking refuge from me.' So Allah will say, `Let My servant go.' Another man will be dragged towards Hell and he will say, `O Lord, I never expected this from You.' Allah will say, `What did you expect' The man will say, `I expected that Your mercy would be great enough to include me.' So Allah will say, `Let My servant go.' Another man will be dragged towards Hell, and Hell will bray at him like a donkey braying at barley.
Then it will give a moan that will instill fear in everyone." Its chain of narrators is Sahih. سَمِعُواْ لَهَا تَغَيُّظاً وَزَفِيراً ( they will hear its raging and its roaring.
)
`Abdur-Razzaq recorded that `Ubayd bin `Umayr said: "Hell will utter a moan such that there will be no angel who is close to Allah and no Prophet sent to mankind, but he will fall on his face, shaking all over.
Even Ibrahim, peace be upon him, will fall to his knees and say: `O Lord, I do not ask You for salvation this Day except for myself."' وَإَذَآ أُلْقُواْ مِنْهَا مَكَاناً ضَيِّقاً مُّقَرَّنِينَ ( And when they shall be thrown into a narrow place thereof, chained together, ) Qatadah narrated from Abu Ayyub that `Abdullah bin `Amr said: "Like the point of a spear, i.e., in its narrowness." مُقْرِنِينَ ( chained together, ) Abu Salih said, "This means, tied from their shoulders." دَعَوْاْ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوراً ( they will exclaim therein for destruction. ) means, they will utter cries of woe, regret and sorrow. لاَّ تَدْعُواْ الْيَوْمَ ثُبُوراً وَحِداً ( Exclaim not today for one destruction... )

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(25:7) They say, "What sort of a Messenger is he that he eats food and moves about in the streets? *14 Why has not an angel been sent down to accompany him and threaten (the disbelievers)? *15

And they say, "What is this messenger meaning

*14) That is, " He cannot be a Messenger of AIIah because he is a human being like us.
Had Allah willed to send a Messenger, He would have sent an angel, and f at aII a human being was to be sent, he should have been a king or a millionaire, who would have resided in a castle and been guarded by attendants.
A Messenger could not be an ordinary person who has to move about in the market places like the common people, for it is obvious that such a human Messenger cannot attract the attention of the people.
In other words, they thought that a Messenger was not meant to guide the people to the right path but to coerce them to obedience by show of worldly power and grandeur.
For further details, see E.N.
26 of AI-Mu'minun.

*15) That is, "
If a human being was to be sent as a Messenger, an angel should have been appointed to accompany him to proclaim: `If you do not believe in him, 1 will scourge you." But what son of a Messenger is he, who has to suffer from abuse and persecution? "

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs


( And they say ) Abu Jahl and his host, al-Nadr and his host, and Umayyah Ibn Khalaf and his host say: ( What aileth this messenger (of Allah ) that he eateth food) like we do ( and walketh in the markets ) and goes to the markets and walks there as we do? ( Why is not an angel sent down unto him, to be a warner with him ) to help and inform him of the evil things which are planned against him.


Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

And they say: "Why does this Messenger (Muhammad SAW) eat food, and walk about in the markets (like ourselves). Why is not an angel sent down to him to be a warner with him?
