Tafseer Ibnu Kathir: The Idolators Ask for a Miracle
Allah states that the idolators used to proclaim, "Why does not (Muhammad) bring an Ayah from his Lord,'' meaning, a miracle of their choice! They would sometimes say,
[لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الاٌّرْضِ يَنْبُوعًا]
("We shall not believe in you, until you cause a spring to gush forth from the ground for us.'') [17:90].

Tafseer Ibn Kathir; The Stern Rejection of attributing a Son to Allah
After Allah affirms in this noble Surah that `Isa was a
worshipper and servant of Allah and He mentioned his birth from Maryam without
a father, He then begins refuting those who claim that He has a son. Holy is He
and far Exalted is He above such description. Allah says,
[وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ
وَلَداً لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ]
(And they say: "The Most Gracious has begotten a
son.'' Indeed you have brought forth) This means, "In this statement of
yours.''

Tafseer Ibn Katheer: `Isa is the Servant of Allah and not His Son
Allah,
the Exalted, says to His Messenger Muhammad , `This is the story which We have
related to you about `Isa,' upon him be peace.
[قَوْلَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِى فِيهِ يَمْتُرُونَ]
((It is)
a statement of truth about which they doubt.) lThis means that the people of
falsehood and the people of truth are in disagreement,

Sahih Muslim: Munafiqin
Book 38, Number 6690 :
Abu Tufail reported that there was a
dispute between Hudhaifa and one from the people of Aqaba as it happens amongst
people. He said: I adjure you by Allah to tell me as to how many people from
Aqaba were. The people said to him (Hudhaifa) to inform him as he had asked. We
have been informed that they were fourteen and If you are to be counted amongst
them, then they would be fifteen and

Tafseer Ibn Katheer; The Destruction of the Disbelievers and Intensification of their Punishment for rejecting the Revelation
Allah informs us
that when it is said to those liars,
[مَّاذَآ
أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُواْ]
("What is it
that your Lord has revealed'' They say,) not wanting to answer,
[أَسَـطِيرُ
الاٌّوَّلِينَ]
("Tales of the
men of old!'') meaning nothing is revealed to him, what he is reciting to us is
just tales of the men of old, taken from the previous Books. As Allah says,

Tafseer Ibnu Kather: Guidance is granted to Those Who have Taqwa
Hidayah
- correct guidance - is only granted to those who have Taqwa - fear of Allah.
Allah said,
[قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدًى وَشِفَآءٌ
وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِى ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى أُوْلَـئِكَ
يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ]
(Say:
It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who
disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'an) is
blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away (so
they neither listen nor understand)) (41:44), and,

Tafseer Ibn Kathir : The Virtues of Al-Hamd
1. Al Fatihah
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded that Al-Aswad bin Sari` said, "I
said, `O Messenger of Allah! Should I recite to you words of praise for My
Lord, the Exalted, that I have collected' He said,
«أَمَا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ»
(Verily, your Lord likes Al-Hamd.)''
An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith. Furthermore, Abu `Isa At-Tirmidhi,
An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah recorded that Musa bin Ibrahim bin Kathir related that
Talhah bin Khirash said that Jabir bin `Abdullah said that the Messenger of
