Al-Furqan (The Criterion)

Verse 32of 77

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ جُمْلَةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَٰهُ تَرْتِيلًۭا﴿٣٢

Translation (Sahih International)

And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Reason why the Qur'an was revealed in Stages, the Refutation of the Disbelievers, and their EvilAllah tells us about the many objections raised by the disbelievers, their stubbornness, and how they spoke of things which were none of their concern.
