تفسير : (and when those who disbelieve) abu jahl and his host (behold thee) o muhammad, (they but choose thee) o muhammad (out for mockery) in what they say to you, ((saying)) to one another: (is this he who maketh mention of) is this he who ridicules (your gods? and they would deny all mention of the beneficent) they deny the beneficent, saying: we do not know anyone by the name of the beneficent (al-rahman) except musaylimah, the liar.
