When the Arabs heard the Qur’an, they would sing so that they would not hear the Qur’an, and they would say, “What God has told about them: Do not listen to this Qur’an, and distort it, perhaps you will be victorious,” as those of the scholars whom God has not given success to do today. If they hear the words of God’s people, with the secrets that God gives them, they say, “This is nonsense and popcorn.” As for those who exaggerate, they say this is blasphemy, and if they asked about the meaning of what they heard, they would not know.
