The Holy Quran 43:31 — Surah Az-Zukhruf

Arabic text

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ

Translation

(Instead of accepting the Qur'aan,) They say, "(Instead of being revealed to Rasulullaah ﷺ,) Why is this Qur'aan not revealed to a prominent (important) man from one of the two cities (Makkah or Taa'if)?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Why the Quran was not sent down to the chiefs of Makkah and Ta'if: that is, [they said]: if the Quran had to be sent down at all, it should have been sent down to some great chief of Makkah or Ta'if.
