Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Idolators Ask for a MiracleAllah states that the idolators used to proclaim, "Why does not (Muhammad) bring an Ayah from his Lord," meaning, a miracle of their choice! They would sometimes say, لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الاٌّرْضِ يَنْبُوعًا("We shall not believe in you, until you cause a spring to gush forth from the ground for us.") 17:90.
