وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ
2And if they see a miracle, they turn away, and say: “This is magic which is continuously coming from earlier times.”
2The reason for descending the verse
Abd Allah said, “The moon was split at the time of the Messenger of Allah, so the Quraysh said, ‘This is an act of sorcery from the son of Abu Kabshah; he has cast a spell on you. Ask, therefore, the travellers whether they saw the moon split’. They asked some travellers and they confirmed it. Allah(exalted is He)then revealed.” (Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
