  1. Full Dutch translation of Tabari's text

    Allah, exalted is His praise, says: And this Qurʾān which We have sent down to Muḥammad ﷺ is a reminder for whoever takes instruction from it, and an admonition for whoever lets himself be admonished by it. مُّبَارَكٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ — just as We sent down the Torah to Mūsā and Hārūn as a reminder for the God-fearing. أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ — Allah, exalted is His praise, says: Will you then, O people, deny this Book which We have sent down to Muḥammad, and say: it is أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامٍ بَلِ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِآيَةٍ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ الْأَوَّلُونَ ? But that which We have given him therein is a reminder for the God-fearing — like that which We gave to Mūsā and Hārūn as a reminder for the God-fearing.

    And in the same manner as we have explained this, the people of interpretation spoke.

    * Mention of who said that:

    Bishr related to us, saying: Yazīd related to us, saying: Saʿīd related to us, on the authority of Qatāda, concerning His statement وَهَٰذَا ذِكْرٌ مُّبَارَكٌ — up to His statement أَفَأَنتُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ : that is to say: this Qurʾān.

    يقول جلّ ثناؤه: وهذا القرآن الذي أنـزلناه إلى محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكر لمن تذكر به، وموعظة لمن اتعظ به ( مُبَارَكٌ أَنـزلْنَاهُ ) كما أنـزلنا التوراة إلى موسى وهارون ذكرا للمتقين ( أَفَأَنْتُمْ لَهُ مُنْكِرُونَ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: أفأنتم أيها القوم لهذا الكتاب الذي أنـزلناه إلى محمد منكرون وتقولون هو أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلامٍ بَلِ افْتَرَاهُ بَلْ هُوَ شَاعِرٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِآيَةٍ كَمَا أُرْسِلَ الأَوَّلُونَ وإنما الذي آتيناه من ذلك ذكر للمتقين، كالذي آتينا موسى وهارون ذكرا للمتقين. وبنحو الذي قلنا في ذلك قال أهل التأويل. * ذكر من قال ذلك: حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة، قوله ( وَهَذَا ذِكْرٌ مُبَارَكٌ )... إلى قوله ( أَفَأَنْتُمْ لَهُ مُنْكِرُونَ ) أي هذا القرآن.
