Transliteration:( Bal huwa aayaatum baiyinaatun fee sudooril lazeena ootul 'ilm; wa maa yajhadu bi aayaatinaa illaz zaalimoon )
125. This means that this blessed Prophet is one possessing bright signs which are safe in the hearts of the People of the Book because they had prior knowledge about the Holy Prophet ?. Or that Quran is a bright sign which is protected within the hearts of Ulama and Huffaz until the Day of Judgement. Besides the Holy Qur'an, no other book was like it in status and grandeur (Tafseer Khazainul Irfaan).
From this, emerge two issues:Â
1. The status of the Ulama and Huffaz is great because the treasures of the Holy Qur'an are in their hearts. If any paper on which verses of the Holy Qur'an are written is sacred, then imagine the sanctity of those hearts which are the store house of these verses. The paper on which the verses of the Quran are written cannot be touched by an impure person. Likewise, the heart in which there is the Qur'an cannot be touched by the impure devil (If Allah wills).
2. There can never be any distortion in the Holy Qur'an because changes and distortions can take place on paper, never in the hearts.Â
126. The infidels of Makkah have gone beyond the limits in their infidelity and rebellion.

The tafsir of Surah Ankabut verse 49 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Ankabut ayat 47 which provides the complete commentary from verse 47 through 49.
(29:49) But it is a set of Clear Signs in the hearts of those who have been endowed with knowledge.[89] None except the utterly unjust will deny Our Signs.
89. That is, the presentation of a Book like the Quran by an unlettered person, and the manifestation by him, all of a sudden, of extraordinary qualities of character while nobody ever noticed him making any preparation for these previously, are in fact the clearest signs which serve as pointers to his prophethood for those who are possessed of knowledge and wisdom.” If one reviews the life-story of any great historical personage, one can always discover the factors in his environment, which molded his personality and prepared him for the excellences and qualities that emanated from him in life. There always exists a clear relationship between his environment and the component aspects of his personality. But no source whatever can be discovered in his environment of the wonderful qualities and excellences that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) displayed. In his case, neither in the contemporary Arab society nor in the society of the neighboring countries with which Arabia had any relations can one discover those factors which could have any remote relationship with the component aspects of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) personality. This is the reality on the basis of which it has been asserted here that the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) personality is not one sign but a collection of many clear signs. An ignorant person may not see any of these signs but those who are possessed of knowledge have become convinced in their hearts by seeing these signs that he is most certainly a true Prophet of Allah.
