Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And when Our clear revelations) when the clear revelations of the Qur'an which explain the commands and prohibitions (are recited unto them) unto the disbelievers of Mecca, (those who disbelieve) the disbelievers of Mecca (say of the Truth) of the Qur'an (when it reacheth them) when the Prophet (pbuh) came to them: (This is mere magic) this is a manifest lie.
