{And they say: “We shall not believe in you (O Muḥammad), until you cause a spring<br />
to gush forth from the earth for us; Or you have a garden of date-palms and grapes,<br />
and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst abundantly; Or you cause the heaven to<br />
fall upon us in pieces, as you have pretended, or you bring <strong>Al</strong>laah and the angels<br />
before (us) face to face; Or you have a house of adorable materials (like silver and<br />
pure gold, etc.), or you ascend up into the sky, and even then we will put no faith in<br />
your ascension until you bring down for us a Book that we would read.” Say (O<br />
Muḥammad): “Glorified (and Exalted) be my Lord (<strong>Al</strong>laah) above all that evil they (the<br />
polytheists) associate with Him! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger?”}<br />
[Surah al-Israa’ (17): 90-93]<br />
And we (Ibn Katheer) have discussed these and other similar Aayaat in their respective<br />
places in out Tafseer. And all praise is for <strong>Al</strong>laah alone.<br />
Ibn `Abbaas رضيُاهللُعنهما said: “The people of Makkah asked the Prophet ﷺ to turn al-<br />
Ṣafaa turn into gold for them and remove the mountains from around them so that<br />
they could cultivate (the land). It was said to him ,ﷺ (in another narration, it is:<br />
Jibreel عليهُالسالم came to him ﷺ and said): ‘If you want, you can be patient with them<br />
or if you want, you can give them what they asked for, but if they disbelieve, they will be<br />
destroyed as those who came before them were destroyed.’ He ﷺ said: ❝Rather, I<br />
shall be patient with them.❞ Then <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل revealed this Aayah:<br />
﴿وَمَاُمَنَعَنَاُ أَن<br />
تباركُوُ<br />
نُّر سِ لَُُبِاْل يَاتُُِإِّلَُُّ أَن ُكَذَّبَُُِبَِاُاِّل َوَّل ونَُُُۖوَآتَي نَُاَُثَ ودَُُالنَّاقَةَُُم ب صِرَةُُفَظَلَم واُِبَِاُُۖوَمَاُ<br />

{And nothing stops Us from sending the Aayaat (proofs, signs) but that the people of<br />
old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamood as a clear sign, but they did<br />
her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of<br />
destruction).} [Surah al-Israa’ (17): 59]” 210<br />

210 Musnad Aḥmad (2333), “al-Mustadrak” al-Ḥaakim (3379), and he said: “It is “Ṣaḥeeḥ””, and al-Dhahabee<br />
agreed with him, and Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee also agreed with them.<br />
