Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And when it is recited unto them) and when the Qur'an is recited to them expositing the attributes and description of Muhammad (pbuh) (they say: We believe in it) we believe in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an. (Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it) before the recitation of the Qur'an to us (we were of those who surrender (unto Him)) we were of those who believe in Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an.
