節: 156

أَن تَقُولُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ عَلَىٰ طَآئِفَتَيۡنِ مِن قَبۡلِنَا وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِهِمۡ لَغَٰفِلِينَ

(156) Lest that you may say: “But this Book was sent down to two ˹other˺ groups^[1551] before us; indeed we are totally oblivious to their studying!^[1552]”

[1551] The reference here is to the Jews to whom the Torah was sent down and the Christians to whom the Evangel was sent down (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī). Both of whom the Arabs reverently regarded as ‘people of the Book’.
[1552] That is, they were ignorant of what these two Books contained not having access to them due to linguistic barriers, and that they were thought of as exclusive to their people (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).
