Ayah: 93

أَوۡ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيۡتٞ مِّن زُخۡرُفٍ أَوۡ تَرۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَن نُّؤۡمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡنَا كِتَٰبٗا نَّقۡرَؤُهُۥۗ قُلۡ سُبۡحَانَ رَبِّي هَلۡ كُنتُ إِلَّا بَشَرٗا رَّسُولٗا

(93) “Or, that you should have a house of gold; or you climb up in the sky, and even then we would not believe in your climbing unless you bring a book for us to read!” Say ˹Muhammad˺: “Glorified may my Lord be!^[3697] Am I anything but a human, a Messenger!”

[3697] The expression subḥāna Rabbī (Glorified may my Lord be) emphatically exalts God Almighty above and beyond being forced to meet such intransigent demands. If He wills, He would answer whatever He wishes of these and if He so wishes he would not answer any of them (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr).
