اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْا لَوْ اَنَّاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْنَا الْكِتٰبُ لَكُنَّاۤ اَهْدٰى مِنْهُمْۚ-فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بَیِّنَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةٌۚ-فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ وَ صَدَفَ عَنْهَاؕ-سَنَجْزِی الَّذِیْنَ یَصْدِفُوْنَ عَنْ اٰیٰتِنَا سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَصْدِفُوْنَ(157)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Or lest you should say, “Had the Book been sent down to us we would have been more guided than them.”[1] So there has come to you clear evidence from your Lord, and guidance, and mercy. So who is more oppressive than the one who rejects the verses of Allah and turns away from them? Soon We shall recompense those who turn away from Our verses with severe punishment as they were turning away.

Commentary

[1]

A group among the Arab disbelievers said that the Torah and Gospel were revealed to the Jews and Christians respectively, but those foolish people could not attain guidance from those Books, and further claimed that we are not mentally weak and naïve, our minds are sound and our intelligence is such that if Books like this were revealed to us, we would be more guided than them. This verse was revealed about these Arabs that the Quran has now been revealed, so why do they not comply?
