Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (say (unto them, o muhammad): he it is who gave you being) he it is who created you, (and hath assigned unto you ears) so that you would hear the truth and guidance (and eyes) so that you would see the truth and guidance (and hearts) so that you perceive the truth and guidance. (small thanks give ye!) he says: you give little thanks for all the things done for you; and it is also said this means: you do not give any thanks.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : say: ‘it is he who created you and endowed you with hearing and sight and hearts. little do you thank!’ (mā tashkurūna: mā is extra; the sentence itself is a new [independent] one, informing of how extremely little they give thanks for these graces).
