[ الأنعام: 109]
And they swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if there came to them a sign, they would surely believe therein. Say: "Signs are but with Allah and what will make you (Muslims) perceive that (even) if it (the sign) came, they will not believe?"

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths that if a sign came to them, they would surely believe in it. Say, "The signs are only with Allah." And what will make you perceive that even if a sign came, they would not believe.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(6:109) They swear by Allah with their most solemn oaths that if a sign *74 comes to them, they will certainly believe in it. Say: 'Signs are in Allah's power alone. *75 What will make you realize that even if those signs were to come, they would still not believe? *76
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*74). 'Sign' in this context signifies a tangible miracle which is so impressive that it leaves people with no alternative but to believe in the veracity of the Prophet (peace be on him) and the truth of his claim to have been appointed by God.
*75). The Prophet (peace be on him) denies his ability to perform miracles.** That power lies with God alone. If God wants a miracle to take place, He has the power; if He does not want miracles to take place, none will.
**And so indeed does every Prophet of God - Ed.
*76). These words are addressed to the Muslims. Driven by the restless yearning to see people embrace Islam - a yearning which they sometimes expressed in words - they wished some miracle to happen which might lead their erring brethren to the true faith. In response to this wish and longing they are told that their embracing the true faith does not depend upon their observing any miraculous sign.
