Al-Furqan 25:5

<h2>What the Disbelievers said about the Qur'an</h2><p>Allah tells us about the foolishness of the disbelievers' ignorant minds, when they said about the Qur'an:</p><p>إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ إِفْكٌ</p><p>(This is nothing but a lie), meaning an untruth.</p><p>افْتَرَاهُ</p><p>(that he has invented,) meaning the Prophet .</p><p>وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ ءَاخَرُونَ</p><p>(and others have helped him in it.) means, he asked other people to help him compile it. So Allah said:</p><p>فَقَدْ جَآءُوا ظُلْماً وَزُوراً</p><p>(In fact, they have produced an unjust wrong and a lie.) meaning, they are the ones who are telling a lie, and they know that it is false, for their own souls know that what they are claiming is not true.</p><p>وَقَالُواْ أَسَـطِيرُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا</p><p>(And they say: "Tales of the ancients which he has written down...") meaning, the ancients wrote them down, and he has copied it.</p><p>فَهِىَ تُمْلَى عَلَيْهِ</p><p>(and they are dictated to him) means, they are read or recited to him.</p><p>بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً</p><p>(morning and afternoon. ) at the beginning and end of the day. Because this idea is so foolish and is so patently false, everyone knows that it is not true. It is known through Mutawatir reports and is a common fact that Muhammad ﷺ the Messenger of Allah never learned to read or write, …

And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening.

And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening."

And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."

And they say, “Tales of the ancients; he wrote them down; they are dictated to him morning and evening.”
