At-Tur (The Mount)
Verse 31 - 32
Table of Contents
31. Say [O Muhammad SAW unto them]: “Wait! I am with you among the waiters! [You await my death and I await triumph over you.]”
32. Do their minds command them this [to attribute such baseless accusations to the Noble Prophet (S)] or are they people transgressing bounds?
The twain blessed Verses are addressed to the Noble Prophet (S) saying unto him that reply to disbelievers by asking them to await some blight or affliction like death fall upon him and he will await that death or torment fall into their share thus they may know that who has lost his mind and commits vices.
The blessed Verse 32 addresses the chiefs of the Quraysh who imagined that they were people of reason and intelligence. It also addresses those who regard themselves as reasonable and knowledgeable inquiring whether their reason and intelligence bid them to deny the Truth, whereas such denial stands against reason. The point is that they are rebellious and disobedient and their reason follows their concupiscent desires.
