38:9
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلذِّكْرُ مِنۢ بَيْنِنَا ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّن ذِكْرِى ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
‘Has the exhortation been sent down to him in preference to all of us?’ Nay, they are in doubt concerning My exhortation. Nay, but they have not yet tasted My punishment.

[c]‘Has the exhortation been sent down to him in preference to all of us?’ Nay, they are in doubt concerning My exhortation. Nay, but they have not yet tasted My punishment.[3379]
54:26.
Commentary:
The verse refers to a great obstacle which stands in the way of disbelievers to accept the truth. They simply cannot, they say, persuade themselves to follow the lead of a man just like themselves—rather inferior to them in certain respects. The same subject has been referred to in 43:32 where the Meccan infidels are described as refusing to accept the Message of the Quran on the pretext, "why has not this Quran been sent to some great man of the two towns."
