Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

What the Disbelievers said about the Messenger , refutation of Their Words, and Their ultimate DestinyAllah tells us about the disbelievers' stubborn resistance to and rejection of the truth, with no proof or evidence for doing so. Their excuse was, as they said:مَا لِهَـذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ(Why does this Messenger eat food,) meaning, `as we eat, and why does he need food as we need it'وَيَمْشِى فِى الاٌّسْوَاقِ(and walk about in the markets.
