And they the idolaters say ‘Why does he Muhammad (s) not bring us a sign from his Lord?’ of the sort which they request. Has there not come to them read ta’tihim or ya’tihim the clear proof the statements of what is in the former scriptures? the tales contained in the Qur’ān relating to past communities and the details of their destruction for denying the messengers?
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And they say) i.e. the people of Mecca: (If only he would bring us) why does not Muhammad bring us (a miracle) a sign (from his Lord! Hath there not come unto them the proof) the exposition (of what is in the former Scriptures) what is in the Torah and the Gospel for they contained the attributes and description of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?
