"And you did not recite before it"—meaning before the Quran—"any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Then [the followers of falsehood] would have suspected"—had you been able to read and write. And "the followers of falsehood" in the interpretation of some are those who did not believe among the People of the Book.

Muhammad said: The meaning according to this interpretation is that they find you described in their scriptures as unlettered, so if you had been able to write, they would have doubted.

Surat Al-Ankabut, from (verse 49) to (verse 52).
