(8) وَ قالُوا لَوْ لا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ وَ لَوْ أَنْزَلْنا مَلَكاً لَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ ثُمَّ لا يُنْظَرُونَ
8. " And they said: ' Why has not an angel been sent down to him ? And if We had sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been determined, and then they would not be granted any respite."
Commentary :
The disbelievers protested why there was not sent down an angel to the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) so openly that they could see him with their own eyes and, consequently, they might attest his prophethood.
" And they said: ' Why has not an angel been sent down to him ? ..."
Then, in order to show that their disobedience has reached to its climax, the verse implies that had Allah sent down an angel as they wished, they would not have believed. So, the divine wisdom and common good rquired that Allah should not respite them any more, and would immediately involve them in a punishment to destroy them. The verse itself says :
"... And if we had sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been determined, and then they would not be granted any respite."
