They Wondered
بَلۡ عَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَيۡءٌ عَجِيبٌ ٢
Nay, but they marvel that a warner of their own hath come unto them; and the disbelievers say: This is a strange thing.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
But they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the disbelievers were astonished that a human from among them should be a prophet.
