Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

أَوَ عَجِبْتُمْ("Do you wonder..."), do not wonder because of this. Surely, it is not strange that Allah sends down revelation to a man among you as mercy, kindness and compassion for you, so that he warns you that you may avoid Allah's torment by associating none with Him, وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ("and that you may receive (His) mercy.
