Tafsir Ibn Abbas: As-Sajda, Ayah 3
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۚ بَلْ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًۭا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muhammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.

Or do they say ‘He Muhammad (s) has invented it’? Nay but it is the truth from your Lord that you may warn thereby a people to whom no warner came before you mā is for negation that perhaps they may find right guidance by your warning.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
Or say they) the disbelievers of Mecca say: (He hath invented it) Muhammad invented the Qur'an? (Nay, but it) i.e. the Qur'an (is the Truth from thy Lord) Gabriel brought down to you, (that thou mayst warn a folk) i.e. the Quraysh (to whom no warner came before you) no warning messenger came to them before you, O Muhammad, (that haply they may walk aright) that they may be guided from error.
