Q 16:103

وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرٌ ۗ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِى يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِىٌّ وَهَـٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ

Traductions

Et Nous savons parfaitement qu'ils disent: «Ce n'est qu'un être humain qui lui enseigne (le Coran)». Or, la langue de celui auquel ils font allusion est étrangère [non arabe], et celle-ci est une langue arabe bien claire.
Muhammad Hamidullah · FR
And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches the Prophet." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign, and this Qur'an is [in] a clear Arabic language.

Tafsir

Nous savons que les polythéistes disent: C’est un être humain qui inculque le Coran à Muħammad. Or ils mentent en prétendant cela car la langue parlée par celui dont ils prétendent qu’il lui inculque le Coran est étrangère à l’Arabie tandis que ce Coran a été révélé dans une langue arabe claire et extrêmement éloquente. Comment le Prophète aurait-il pu recevoir le Coran d’un homme qui parle une langue étrangère?

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
And indeed We know that they (polytheists and pagans) say: "It is only a human being who teaches him." The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Qur'an) is (in) a clear Arabic tongue (103) The Idolators' Claim that the Qur'an was taught by a Human, and the Refutation of their Claim Allah tells us about the idolators' lies, allegations, and slander when they claimed that this Qur'an which Muhammad ﷺ had recited for them, was actually taught to him by a human. They referred to a foreign (i.e., non-Arab) man who lived among them as the servant of some of the clans of Quraysh and who used to sell goods by As-Safa. Maybe the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to sit with him sometimes and talk to him a little, but he was a foreigner who did not know much Arabic, only enough simple phrases to answer questions when he had to. So in refutation of their claims of fabrication, Allah said: لِّسَانُ الَّذِي يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِيٌّ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيٌّ مُّبِينٌ (The tongue of the man they refer to is foreign, while this (the Qur'an) is a (in) clear Arabic tongue.) meaning, how could it be that this Qur'an with its eloquent style and perfect meanings, which is more perfect than any Book revealed to any previously sent Prophet, have been learnt from a foreigner who hardly speaks the language? No one with the slightest amount of common sense would say such a thing.
