There does not come to them any new reminder from their Lord revealed gradually in other words new words of the Qur’ān but they listen to it as they play as they engage in mockery
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Never cometh there unto them) whenever Gabriel comes to their Prophet with (a new reminder from their Lord) i.e. the Qur'an: verse after verse and surah after surah, as if the coming of Gabriel, time after time, and the recitation of Muhammad (pbuh) and their listening to it are new, not that the Qur'an is new, (but they listen to it while they play) while they mock Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an.
