Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (Are you astonished by this message)]

We have reached the saying of Allah the Exalted:

⁽⁵⁹⁾ Then at this statement do you wonder? ⁽⁶⁰⁾ And you laugh and do not weep ⁽⁶¹⁾ While you are proudly sporting? ⁽⁶²⁾ So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him].

أَفَمِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ * وَتَضْحَكُونَ وَلا تَبْكُونَ * وَأَنْتُمْ سَامِدُونَ * فَاسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ وَاعْبُدُوا

[Surat al-Najm: 59-62] The address here is to those who denied the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him),And the interrogative in His saying: (Are you astonished by this) is for denial and astonishment at these deniers of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) who came with clear signs, informed about the previous nations, and made clear that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a warner among the first warners. It is feared that those who denied him will be afflicted with the punishment that befell the deniers of the first warners.

Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:

Do you wonder at this recitation

أَفَمِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ

O you who deny the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)! And the meaning of (you are astonished) is: you regard it as a wonder and a denial;Therefore they said:

Has He made the gods one God? This is indeed something astonishing

أَجَعَلَ الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهاً وَاحِداً إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ

[Surat Sad: 5] ,And Allah the Exalted said:

⁽²⁾ But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say, "This is an amazing thing. ⁽³⁾ When we have died and have become dust, [we will return to life]? That is a distant return."

بَلْ عَجِبُوا أَنْ جَاءَهُمْ مُنْذِرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ * أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَاباً ذَلِكَ رَجْعٌ بَعِيدٌ

[Surat Qaf: 2-3] So they take what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brought as a wonder, and the intended meaning is the astonishment of denial and deeming it unlikely.
