Qaf
وَلَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٖ
38And, indeed, We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days without becoming tired.
38The reason for descending the verse
Narrated by Ibn ‘Abbas, he said, “The Jews came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and asked him about the creation of the heavens and earth. He said to them, ‘Allah created the earth on Sunday and Monday; He created the mountains [and what they contain of benefits] on Tuesday; He created the trees and water on Wednesday; He created heaven on Thursday; on Friday, He created the stars, sun, and moon’. ‘And what after that, O Muhammad?’ the Jews asked. He said, ‘Then, He established Himself on the Throne’. They said, ‘You would have answered correctly, if you added and then He rested’. The Messenger of Allah was furious. This verse was then revealed.” (Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation and As-Suyuti in Lubab)
