Explanatory Note

Al-`Āş’s words serve merely as an example of the ridicule with which the unbelievers responded to the call of Islam and their derision of the whole concept of resurrection. The Qur’ān highlights the singularity of his claims: “Has he, perchance, attained to a realm which is beyond the reach of a created being’s perception?” (Verse 78) That would be a good source of information, giving him knowledge of what may happen in that world. “Or has he concluded a covenant with the Most Merciful?” (Verse 78) In such a case, he would be certain that God’s covenant will be fulfilled.

It was revealed before the first migration to Abyssinia. We learn from an authentic hadith that Ja’afar (a companion of the Prophet) recited v. 1-40 of this Surah to the court of the Negus when the Muslims had been summoned.
