Surah Ash-Shu'ara, Verse 195

Tafsir of 26:195

(26:5). لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَلَمِينَ (is a revelation from the Lord of Al-`Alamin.) means, Allah has sent it down to you and revealed it to you. نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الاٌّمِينُ (Which the trustworthy Ruh has brought down.)

This is an issue concerning which there is no dispute. Az-Zuhri said, "This is like the Ayah: قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ (Say: "Whoever is an enemy to Jibril -- for indeed he has brought it down to your heart by Allah's permission, confirming what came before it...") (2:97).…
