[ الإسراء: 94]
And nothing prevented men from believing when the guidance came to them, except that they said: "Has Allah sent a man as (His) Messenger?"
English - Sahih International
And what prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them except that they said, "Has Allah sent a human messenger?"
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(17:94) Whenever Guidance came before the people nothing prevented them from believing in it except this (excuse): they said: "Did Allah send a human being as His Messenger?" *107
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*107) It implies that this misunderstanding has always been cammon among the ignorant people of every age that a human being could not be a Messenger of Allah: They rejected a Messenger just because he was a human being and took his meals and had wife and children like themselves. In contrast to this, after the passage of the time the credulous followers of a Messenger began to claim that he was not a human being at all because he was a Messenger. That is why some people made their Messenger their God, others the son of God and still others the incarnation of God. In short, the ignorant people had never been able to understand that a human being could be a Messenger of Allah.
