An ayat, 3:101

[sargon]

[Shakir 3:101] But how can you disbelieve while it is you to whom the communications of Allah are recited, and among you is His Messenger? And whoever holds fast to Allah, he indeed is guided to the right path.
[Yusufali 3:101] And how would ye deny Faith while unto you are rehearsed the Signs of Allah, and among you Lives the Messenger? Whoever holds firmly to Allah will be shown a way that is straight.
[Pickthal 3:101] How can ye disbelieve, when it is ye unto whom Allah's revelations are recited, and His messenger is in your midst? He who holdeth fast to Allah, he indeed is guided unto a right path.
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 3:101]

No rational and intelligent person can remain a disbeliever after the arrival of the Holy Prophet in this world with the Quran. So long as the people hold fast to the Quran and his Ahl ul Bayt, the two weighty things (see hadith al thaqalayn on page 6) they will not go back to paganism.

The prophet is not in our midst this makes me think this is one of those verses you have to contemplate about. What do you think it means beyond the obvious? :?

[sargon]

Thanks I'm searching now, is Tafsir like commentary?

 

[Khaldun]

Tafseer is explanation

And these verses where talking directly to the companions as the prophet was alive and walking amongst them, and in another sense also to us, since we got the Sunnah and the Quran as proof
