Transliteration:( Famaa minkum min ahadin'anhu haajizeen )
54. But it so happened that his sun is continuously on the rise and the entire creation of the Creator is obedient to him i.e. by a mere sign of the finger the moon split into two, the sun that had set came out at his command, it began to rain, stones recited his Kalimah, etc. This tells us that he is the true Prophet: his beautiful actions are all true.
The tafsir of Surah Al-Haqqah verse 47 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Haqqah ayat 44 which provides the complete commentary from verse 44 through 52.
(69:47) and not one of you would have been able to withhold Us from doing so.[25]
25. The object is to impress the point that the Prophet (peace be upon him) has no authority whatsoever to make any change in the revelation. If he did so, he would be severely punished. The style depicts the prompt and quick action of a king who strikes off the head of an official, holding him by the hand, if he commits a forgery in his name. Some people have misconstrued this verse to mean that if the heart-vein or neck-vein of an impostor is not immediately severed by Allah, it would be a proof that he was a true prophet, whereas in this verse what has been said is about a true prophet and not about the impostors. Same impostors have even claimed to be God and have thrived and lived long lives in the world, so it could not be a proof of the truth of their claim. For a full discussion of this question, see (Surah Younus, ayat 17) note 23.
