Surah An-Najm — 53:59

أَفَمِنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ تَعْجَبُونَ

Afamin hazal hadeesi ta'jaboon

اے منکرین خدا) کیا تم اس کلام سے تعجب کرتے ہو؟

Do you marvel at this account?

Reflection

Astonishment is what the objectors are recorded as feeling elsewhere, at 50:2 and 38:5, where the message strikes them as an extraordinary thing, and here that reaction is put back to them as a question. This second-person form of the verb appears at this verse alone. Hadha al-hadith, the phrase for what they are hearing, is used of the Qur'an three further times, and every one of those passages has someone turning away from it.
