آية: 91

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ ءَامِنُواْ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ نُؤۡمِنُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا وَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِمَا وَرَآءَهُۥ وَهُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا مَعَهُمۡۗ قُلۡ فَلِمَ تَقۡتُلُونَ أَنۢبِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ مِن قَبۡلُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

(91) When it is said to them: “Believe in what Allah has sent down”^[129], they say: “We ˹only˺ Believe in what has been sent down to us”. And they Deny what came after it^[130] when it is, indeed, the Truth confirming what is already with them. Say ˹to them˺: “Why would you then kill the Prophets of Allah earlier, if you are ˹truly˺ Believers?^[131]

[129] The Qur’an.
[130] What was revealed after the Torah.
[131] This rhetorical question is meant to emphasize how flagrantly in the wrong they were, claiming that they were fulfilling the dictates of the Torah, while unjustly killing their Prophets (cf. NT: Matthew 23:37) when, in fact, these Prophets only came to them with a confirmation of the Torah, which itself forbids killing God’s Messengers. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
