Quran 74:11-25 – Walid Ibn Mugheirah
here is a discussion I had online that sums this up: ‘the point isn’t that there’s a general mentality of this and that, it is that this specific person (given a specific description) denied out of sheer arrogance, while knowing that there’s no way out of calling the Qur’an a miracle. Your interpretation would be “he was arrogant, he thought for a bit, and denied” therefore he gets hellfire. The interpretation we would get knowing the context is “he was the best of the best, but he was also arrogant, he thought of a way to get out and couldn’t figure out any, which shows that this knowledgeable person knew very well how the Qur’an was from Allah. But, he decided to call it magic out of his arrogance, and therefore not only is arrogance condemned, but the miracle is praised, as it wasn’t anyone who couldn’t find a way out, it was the best of linguists at the time”. Do you see the difference?’
The tafasir have the hadith references. Especially ibn kathir
