"And if there were a Qur'an by which mountains could be moved, or the earth could be torn asunder, or the dead could be made to speak." The interpretation of Qatadah: It was mentioned to us that the Quraysh said to the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him): If it pleases you that we follow you, then move the mountains of Tihamah for us, and expand our sanctuary for us so that we may acquire plots of land to earn a living in, or bring back to life for us so-and-so, and so-and-so, and so-and-so—referring to people who had died in the Pre-Islamic period (Jahiliyyah). So Allah revealed this verse, saying: If this were to be done by any Qur'an, it would have been done by your Qur'an.
