64:6
ذالك بانه كانت تاتيهم رسلهم بالبينات فقالوا ابشر يهدوننا فكفروا وتولوا واستغنى الله والله غني حميد ٦
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُۥ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرٌۭ يَهْدُونَنَا فَكَفَرُوا۟ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ ۚ وَّٱسْتَغْنَى ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌۭ ٦
ذَٰلِكَ
بِأَنَّهُۥ
كَانَت
تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ
رُسُلُهُم
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ
فَقَالُوٓاْ
أَبَشَرٞ
يَهۡدُونَنَا
فَكَفَرُواْ
وَتَوَلَّواْۖ
وَّٱسۡتَغۡنَى
ٱللَّهُۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
غَنِيٌّ
حَمِيدٞ

That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said ˹mockingly˺, “How can humans be our guides?” So they persisted in disbelief and turned away. And Allah was not in need ˹of their faith˺. For Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

You are reading a tafsir for the group of verses 64:6 to 64:7

فَقَالُوا أَبَشَرٌ‌ يَهْدُونَنَا (…but they said, “ Shall some mortals give us guidance?”…64:6). Though the word basher [ mortal (s)] is singular, but in meaning it is plural. Therefore, the verb يَهْدُونَنَا ‘give us guidance’ is plural. All unbelievers held the notion that prophets and messengers cannot be human beings. The Qur’ an has time and again falsified and refuted this notion of the unbelievers. Alas, there is also a group of Muslims who denies the mortality of the Allah’ s Messenger. They need to think in which direction they are moving. His mortality is not contradictory to his prophet-hood, nor is it incompatible with his high station of messenger-ship, nor is his being a Messenger inconsistent with his being a Nur (light). He is Nur (light) as well as a mortal. It is a false analogy to compare his light with that of a lamp or of the sun or the moon.
