And when it is said to them, "What has your Lord sent down?" They say, "Legends of the former peoples,"

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
The Destruction of the Disbelievers and Intensification of their Punishment for rejecting the Revelation
Allah informs us that when it is said to those liars,
مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُواْ
("What is it that your Lord has revealed" They say,) not wanting to answer,
أَسَـطِيرُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ
("Tales of the men of old!") meaning nothing is revealed to him, what he is reciting to us is just tales of the men of old, taken from the previous Books. As Allah says,
Read it in an app that guards your attention.
