(நபியே!) உமக்கு அவர்கள் எத்தகை உவமைகளைச் சொல்கிறார்கள் என்பதை கவனித்துப்பாரும்! ஆகவே, அவர்கள் வழிகெட்டு விட்டார்கள்; (நேரான) வழிக்கு அவர்கள் சக்திப்பெற மாட்டார்கள்.

ඔවුහු නුඹට උපමාවන් ගෙන හැර පෑවේ කෙසේ දැ? යි නුඹ අවධානයෙන් බලනු. එවිට ඔවුහු නොමග ගියෝ ය. එහෙයින් කිසිදු මගක් (සොයා ගැනීමට) ඔවුහු හැකියාව නො ලබති.

Tafsir of 17:48

The Secret Counsel of Quraysh after hearing the Qur'an Allah tells His Prophet about what the leaders of Quraysh discussed when they came and listened to him reciting Qur'an in secret, without their people knowing about it. They said that he was Mashur which according to the better-known view means someone affected by magic (Sihr); it may also mean a man who has a lung, i.e., a mere human being, as if they were saying that if you follow Muhammad, you will only be following a human being. This second suggestion does not sound correct, because what they meant here was that he was under the influence of Sihr (magic) which made him see dreams in which he learned these words that he recited. Some of them said he was a poet, or a soothsayer, or crazy, or a sorcerer. Allah says: انْظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُواْ لَكَ الاٌّمْثَالَ فَضَلُّواْ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعْونَ سَبِيلاً (See what examples they have put forward for you. So they have gone astray, and never can they find a way.) meaning, they will never be guided to the truth and will never find a way to reach it.…
