{If We had sent down this Quran upon a mountain}, in the manner that We sent it down upon the servants, regarding reward, punishment, command, and prohibition, {you would have seen it humbled}, meaning: fearful, {splitting from fear of Allah}. By this, He rebukes the servants. {And these examples}, meaning: the comparisons, {We present to the people}, meaning: We set them forth for them, {that they might reflect}, so that they may reflect and know that they are more worthy of fearing Allah than this mountain, for they fear the punishment, while there is no punishment for the mountain.
