إِذًا لَّأَذَقْنَٰكَ ضِعْفَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ وَضِعْفَ ٱلْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًا
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that if in the absence of the revelation of the Quran, the Prophet should have inclined to disbelievers, his inclination towards them would have done them no good and would not have saved them from Divine punishment. The verse drives home the supreme truth that all the Prophet’s greatness was due to his being the recipient of Divine revelation; without such revelation he was no more than an ordinary mortal.

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ ۖ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ
The verse lays down an infallible criterion to test the truth of a claimant to Divine revelation, viz. that a forger of lies against God, though he may appear to progress and prosper for a short while, ultimately perishes and comes to a miserable and ignoble end. This is a truth writ large on the pages of all religious history.
Important Words:

۞ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلصِّدْقِ إِذْ جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Commentary:
After having briefly referred, in the foregoing verses, to the need and purpose of revelation, the Surah proceeds to give two very sound and effective arguments in support of that phenomenon. The verse under comment deals with the first argument, which is, that two persons never succeed in life; the one who invents lies against God and the other who denies and rejects the truth when it is presented and preached to him. The second argument is given in the next verse.

بہائی کہتے ہیں‘ بہاء اللہ اس لئے سچا ہے کہ اسے دعویٰ کے بعد ایک مدّت تک رہنے کا موقعہ ملا۔ مگر یہ دعویٰ جھوٹا ہے۔ بہاء اللہ نے خدا سے الہام پانے کا کبھی دعویٰ نہیں کیا۔ وہ خود اپنے آپ کو خدا کہتا تھا اور خدائی کا دعویٰ اتنا کمزور ہے کہ اس کی حقیقت کو ہر انسان سمجھ سکتا ہے۔ صرف الہام کے دعویٰ سے دھوکا لگتا ہے اس لئے خدا نے جھوٹے الہام کی تو فوری سزا بتائی مگر خدائی کا دعویٰ کرنے والے کی وہ سزا نہیں بتائی۔ کیونکہ اسے ہر عقل مند انسان خود رد ّ کر سکتا ہے۔

这一节经文和以上三节经文论证了, 如果穆圣是个谎言制造者, 那么, 安拉有力的圣手会扼住穆圣的咽喉, 而他当然不免暴毙, 整个工作和使命付诸东流, 就像伪先知所遭到的命运一样。这几节经文内的主张和论据似乎是 «圣经» (申命记: 18:20) 中的不折不扣的翻版。
In this and in the preceding three verses the argument is given that if the Holy Prophet had been a forger of lies, God’s strong hand would have seized him by the throat and he would, certainly, have met with a violent death and his whole work and mission would have gone to pieces, as such is the fate of a false prophet. The claim and the arguments contained in these verses seem to be an exact reproduction of the biblical statement in Deut. 18: 20.
Commentary:
In verses 39-40 above it was claimed that all visible and invisible things prove that the Holy Prophet is God’s true Messenger and that the Quran is God’s revealed Word and not the imaginary flight of a poet’s mind or the wild conjectures of a diviner. In this and the preceding three verses another irrefutable argument is given to support his claim. The argument is to the effect that if the Holy Prophet had been a forger of lies against God, God’s strong hand would have seized him by the throat and the Prophet would certainly have met with a violent death; his whole work and mission would have gone to pieces, because such is the fate of a false prophet. The claim and arguments contained in these verses seem to be an exact reproduction of the following Biblical statement: "I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren (i.e. the Ishmaelites) like unto thee and will put My word in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. But the Prophet which shall presume to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak even that Prophet shall die" (Deut. 18:20).
