Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Messenger will complain against His OpponentsAllah tells how His Messenger and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ will say: "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur'an." The idolators would not listen to the Qur'an, as Allah says:وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لاَ تَسْمَعُواْ لِهَـذَا الْقُرْءَانِ وَالْغَوْاْ فِيهِ(And those who disbelieve say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, and make noise in the midst of it.") (41:26).
