Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Nay, say they) some of them say, ((these are but) muddled dreams) false dreams, that which Muhammad (pbuh) brought to us is but false dreams; (nay, he hath but invented it) some others say: Muhammad (pbuh) invented the Qur'an; (nay, he is but a poet) some of them said: no, he is a poet. (Let him bring us a portent) a sign (even as those of old (who were God's messengers) were sent (with portents)) just as the messengers of old were sent with signs to their people, as he claims.
