Tafsir Al-Jalalayn: Yunus, Ayah 37
وَمَا كَانَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ أَن يُفْتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And it was not [possible] for this Qur'an to be produced by other than Allah, but [it is] a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of the [former] Scripture, about which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the worlds.

(And this Qur'an) which is recited to you by Muhammad (pbuh) (is not such as could ever be invented in despite of Allah; but it is a confirmation of that which was before it) it is a confirmation of the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms and all other Scriptures in that they all call to the profession of divine Oneness and contain the traits and description of Muhammad (pbuh) (and an exposition of that which is decreed for mankind) the Qur'an exposits the lawful and the prohibited, the commands and prohibitions. (Therein is no doubt from the Lord of the Worlds) from the Master of all worlds.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
And this Qur’ān is not such as could ever be produced that is it could not be a fabrication by anyone besides God; but it is revealed as a confirmation of what is before it of Scriptures and a detailing of the Book a exposition of the rulings and other matters which God has prescribed — wherein is no doubt no uncertainty — from the Lord of the Worlds min rabbi’l-‘ālamīn is semantically connected to tasdīqa ‘a confirmation’ or to an omitted unzila ‘revealed’; a variant reading for accusative tasdīqa has the nominative tasdīqu and nominative tafsīlu ‘a detailing’ for the accusative tafsīla by reading an implied huwa ‘it is’.
