Tafsir
So which of your Lord’s favours graces will you deny? tukadhdhibān is mentioned thirty one times; the interrogative is meant to be understood as an affirmative judging by what al-Hākim al-Naysābūrī reported by way of an isnād from Jābir b. ‘Abd Allāh al-Ansārī who said ‘The Messenger of God s was reciting surāt al-Rahmān to us and when he completed it he said “What is wrong with you that you have been silent throughout? Verily the jinn are more responsive than you. Not once did I recite this verse to them — So which of your Lord’s favours will you deny? — but that they said ‘Not one of your graces our Lord do we deny for all praise belongs to You’ ”.
