50. Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): I say not
unto you (that) I possess the treasures of Allah, nor that I have knowledge
of the Unseen; and I say not unto you: Lo! I am an Angel. I follow only that
which is inspired in Me. Say: Are the blind man and the seer equal? Do ye not
then take thought?

Commentary
It has been being described
with effect from the previous verses that those people who do not want to obey
the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), they make
evasions. Sometimes they say: If you are a Messenger; show us done as we say.
At another time they ask: When the Doomsday will come? Again at any other time
they argue: In what manner is He a Messenger, who moves in Bazaars and do
works like common people?
Opposite to all of them, the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has been advised to
be patient and commanded: The ancient people also used to treat those
Messengers (peace be upon Them), who were sent before You in the same manner.
Actually, main reason of these people is the same, which was of those before
them that they desire to maintain their own way of life and do not wish any
changing in that particular way (which leads them to stray).
They do not want to understand
the Truth. Moreover, base of their entire deeds is stubbornness, obstinacy and
refractoriness. Even then, actual work of the Messengers (peace be upon Them)
has been mentioned in this verse in clear words, so that the wise people may
understand the reality.
It is commanded: Say (O
Muhammad, to the disbelievers):
1. Neither had I claimed ever and nor now claim that I possess the
treasures of Allah Almighty; I shall provide you, what you
will demand.
2. Nor I have knowledge of the Unseen;
3. And never had I said to you that I am an Angel and am free from
the worldly necessities. I am also a Mankind like you.
There is a difference to such
extent among you and Me (Muhammad – grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) that the Divine Revelations come unto Me, in which I am guided about that,
what I would have to do. So, I follow only that which is inspired in Me.
However, it does not mean that I have not remained a Mankind.
But the thing is only that
there is a difference between human beings. (Which you can observe that someone
is more wise, while the other is less, someone can see the matter deeply,
whereas the other person cannot observe the thing near to him). Someone is
blind while the other can see clearly. This is the only difference between you
and Me (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) that I have been caused
to understand those things which are not known to common people. Meditate in it
deeply; it is not any such thing which is difficult to understand. You
can know it easily if you use your sense in this matter properly.
