Tafsir Commentary

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Rather it is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
Tafsir Muyassar
فلا أقسم بما تبصرون من المرئيات، وما لا تبصرون مما غاب عنكم، إن القرآن لَكَلام الله، يتلوه رسول عظيم الشرف والفضل، وليس بقول شاعر كما تزعمون، قليلا ما تؤمنون، وليس بسجع كسجع الكهان، قليلا ما يكون منكم تذكُّر وتأمُّل للفرق بينهما، ولكنه كلام رب العالمين الذي أنزله على رسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
أي هو تنزيل.
Tafsir Al Wasit
ثم بين - سبحانه - ما يحدث للرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم لو أنه - على سبيل الفرض - غيرَّ أو بدل شيئا من القرآن فقال : ( وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الأقاويل . لأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ باليمين . ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الوتين . فَمَا مِنكُمْ مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ )والتقول : افتراء القول ، ونسبته إلى من لم يقله ، فهو تفعل من القول يدل على التكلف والتصنع والاختلاق .والأقاويل : جمع أقوال ، الذى هو جمع قول ، فهو جمع الجمع .أى : ولو أن محمداً صلى الله عليه وسلم افترى علينا بعض الأقوال ، أو نسب إلينا قولا لم نقله ، أو لم نأذن له فى قوله . . لو أنه فعل شيئا من ذلك على سبيل الفرض .
Tafsir al-Tabari

Tafseer Al-Baghawi
"تنزيل من رب العالمين".
Tafseer Tanwir al-Miqbas
تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (43)و { تنزيل } وصف بالمصدر للمبالغة .والمعنى : إنه منزل من رب العالمين على الرسول الكريم .وعبر عن الجلالة بوصف { ربّ العالمين } دون اسمِه العلَم للتنبيه على أنه رب المخاطَبين وربُ الشعراءِ والكهاننِ الذين كانوا بمحل التعظيم والإِعجاب عندهم نظير قول موسى لفرعون { ربُّكم وربُّ آبائكم الأولين } [ الشعراء : 26 ] .
Tafseer Al Saddi
وأن ما جاء به تنزيل رب العالمين، لا يليق أن يكون قول البشر بل هو كلام دال على عظمة من تكلم به، وجلالة أوصافه، وكمال تربيته لعباده، وعلوه فوق عباده، .
Tafseer Al Qurtubi
قوله تعالى : تنزيل من رب العالمينقوله تعالى : تنزيل أي هو تنزيل .من رب العالمين وهو عطف على قوله : إنه لقول رسول كريم ، أي إنه لقول رسول كريم ، وهو تنزيل من رب العالمين .
Tazkirul Quran
It literally means, ‘whatever you see and whatever you do not see bear testimony to the veracity of this discourse’ that is, whatever knowledge was at the command of humanity at the time the Quran was revealed and whatever was going to come within its reach thereafter, both go to prove the truth of the messenger’s utterances. Neither the present available knowledge contradicts the Quran being the Truth, nor will future knowledge be able to do so. In spite of this, those who do not accept it simply prove that they are not serious about Truth and Untruth.
Ma'arif-ul-Quran
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُ‌ونَ وَمَا لَا تُبْصِرُ‌ونَ (I swear by what you see, and what you do not see….69:38-39). This comprehends the entire body of creation. Some say 'what you do not see' refers to the Being of Allah Ta` ala and His attributes. Others say 'what you see' refers to things of the mortal world, and 'what you do not see,' refers to things of the Hereafter. [ Mazhari ] And Allah, the Pure and Exalted, Knows best!
Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn 'Abbas
(It is a revelation) He says: the Qur'an is a revelation to Muhammad (pbuh) (from the Lord of the Worlds.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged)
The Qur'an is the Speech of Allah Allah swears by His creation, in which some of His signs can be seen in His creatures. These also indicate the perfection of His Names and Attributes. He then swears by the hidden things that they cannot see. This is an oath swearing that the Qur'an is His Speech, His inspiration and His revelation to His servant and Messenger, whom He chose to convey His Message, and the Messenger carried out this trust faithfully. So Allah says, فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِمَا تُبْصِرُونَ - وَمَا لاَ تُبْصِرُونَ - إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ (So I swear by whatsoever you see, and by whatsoever you see not, that this is verily the word of an honored Messenger.) meaning, Muhammad ﷺ. Allah gave this description to him, a description which carries the meaning of conveying, because the duty of a messenger is to convey from the sender. Therefore, Allah gave this description to the angelic Messenger in Surat At-Takwir, where he said, إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ مُّطَـعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ (Verily, this is the Word of (this Qur'an brought by) a most honorable messenger. Owner of power (and high rank) with Allah, the Lord of the Throne. Obeyed and trustworthy.) (81:19-21) And here, it refers to Jibril. Then Allah says, وَمَا صَـحِبُكُمْ بِمَجْنُونٍ (and your companion is not a madman. ) (81:22) meaning, Muhammad ﷺ. وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِالاٍّفُقِ الْمُبِينِ (And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon.) (81:23) meaning, Muhammad ﷺ saw Jibril in his true form in which Allah created him. وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ (And he is not Danin with the Unseen.) (81:24) meaning, suspicious. وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَـنٍ رَّجِيمٍ (And it (the Qur'an) is not he word of the outcast Shaytan.) (81:25) This is similar to what is being said here. وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ قَلِيلاً مَّا تُؤْمِنُونَ - وَلاَ بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ قَلِيلاً مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ (It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe! Nor is it the word of soothsayer, little is that you remember!) So in one instance Allah applies the term messenger to the angelic Messenger and in another instance He applies it to the human Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ). This is because both of them are conveying from Allah that which has been entrusted to them of Allah's revelation and Speech. Thus, Allah says, تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ (This is the revelation sent down from the Lord of all that exists.)
