Occasion of revelation
(ﾅ Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!) [44:49]. Qatadah said: ﾓThis verse was revealed about the enemy of Allah, Abu Jahl, who protested: Is Muhammad threatening me? By Allah, I am the mightiest man between its two mountains [Meccaﾒs two mountains]ﾒ, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed
this verseﾔ. Abu Bakr al-Harithi informed us> Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Hayyan> Abu Yahya al-Razi> Sahl ibn Uthman> Asbat> Abu Bakr al-Hudhali> Ikrimah who said: ﾓOne day, the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, met Abu Jahl. The latter said to him: You know that I am of the most powerful people
on earth, and that I am the mighty, the noble!ﾒ Allah, exalted is He, killed him at the Battle of Badr, humiliated him and reviled him, using his own words. This verse was revealed about him (Taste! Lo! thou wast forsooth the mighty, the noble!)ﾔ.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْكَرِيمُ ﴿٤٩﴾
Taste you (this)! Verily, you were (pretending to be) the mighty, the generous.
means, they (the keepers of Hell) will say that to him by way of ridicule and rebuke.
Ad-Dahhak reported that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
"This means, you are neither mighty nor generous.''
