Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِحـم - تَنزِيلُ الْكِتَـبِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ(Ha-Mim. By the manifest Book.) means, plain and clear in both wording and meaning, because it was revealed in the language of the Arabs, which is the most eloquent language for communication among people.
