16:101
وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَآ ءَايَةًۭ مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٍۢ ۙ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفْتَرٍۭ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٠١
And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.
And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allah is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muhammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.
Whenever We replace one verse by another verse - and Allah knows what He should reveal - they are wont to say: "You are nothing but a fabricator (who has invented the Qur'an)." The fact is that most of them are ignorant of the Truth.
يُخْبِرُ تَعَالَى عَنْ ضَعْفِ عُقُولِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَقِلَّةِ ثَبَاتِهِمْ وَإِيقَانِهِمْ، وَأَنَّهُ لَا يَتَصَوَّرُ مِنْهُمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَقَدْ كَتَبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّقَاوَةَ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ إِذَا رَأَوْا تَغْيِيرَ الْأَحْكَامِ نَاسِخِهَا بِمَنْسُوخِهَا قَالُوا لِلرَّسُولِ: ﴿إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُفْتَرٍ﴾ أَيْ: كَذَّابٌ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ تَعَالَى يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ، وَيَحْكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ.
وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: ﴿بَدَّلْنَا آيَةً مَكَانَ آيَةٍ﴾ أَيْ: رَفَعْنَاهَا وَأَثْبَتْنَا غَيْرَهَا.
وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ: هُوَ كَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا﴾ [الْبَقَرَةِ:١٠٦] .
فَقَالَ تَعَالَى مُجِيبًا لَهُمْ: ﴿قُلْ نزلَهُ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ﴾ أَيْ: جِبْرِيلُ، ﴿مِنْ رَبِّكَ بِالْحَقِّ﴾ أَيْ: بِالصِّدْقِ وَالْعَدْلِ، ﴿لِيُثَبِّتَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ فَيُصَدِّقُوا بِمَا أَنْزَلَ أَوَّلًا وَثَانِيًا وَتُخْبِتُ لَهُ قُلُوبُهُمْ، ﴿وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَى لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ﴾ أَيْ: وَجَعَلَهُ هَادِيًا [مُهْدِيًا] [[زيادة من ت.]] وَبِشَارَةٍ للمسلمين الذين آمنوا بالله ورسله.
