According to Taberî, the description of the Qur'an as 'an Arabic Qur'an' in this verse indicates that Allah sent each prophet in the language of his people, and therefore this book sent to the Arab nation was revealed in Arabic so that they could understand it. Furthermore, the views of grammarians are conveyed regarding how the word Qur'an comes in the accusative case as 'قرآنا عربيا'; it is noted that this expression is in the state of appositional description (hāl) from the preceding word 'هذا القرآن'. Additionally, the text transmits a narration stating that this verse was revealed when the Companions requested stories from the Prophet.

يقول تعالى ذكره: إنا أنزلنا هذا الكتاب المبين قرآنا عربيا على العرب، لأن لسانهم وكلامهم عربي، فأنزلنا هذا الكتاب بلسانهم ليعقلوه ويفقهوا منه

According to Zemahşerî, two views are transmitted regarding the expression 'the blessed night': the first is the Night of Power (Qadr), the second is the fifteenth night of the month of Sha'bān (Night of Barāah). According to the Night of Barāah view, this night is given four names such as the Blessed Night, the Night of Barāah, the Night of Sakk, and the Night of Mercy, and five specific characteristics of this night are counted (the division of decree, the excellence of worship, the descent of mercy, the realization of forgiveness, and the completion of the Prophet's intercession). However, Zemahşerî states that the view of the majority is that the 'blessed night' is the Night of Power.

والقول الأكثر أن المراد بالليلة المباركة : ليلة القدر ، لقوله تعالى

According to this exegete, the description of the Qur'an with the attribute 'clear/manifest' (mubīn) can be understood in three ways: the Qur'an is a clear miracle for Prophet Muhammad; guidance and righteousness as well as the lawful and unlawful are explained in it; and the stories and circumstances of the ancients are expounded there. Furthermore, the expression 'an Arabic Qur'an' is connected, through a narration concerning how Jewish scholars made the polytheist leaders ask the Prophet about the migration of the Jacob family from al-Shām to Egypt and the manner of the story of Joseph, to the purpose of facilitating the expression and understanding of the story through Arabic words.

روي أن علماء اليهود قالوا لكبراء المشركين ، سلوا محمدا لم انتقل آل يعقوب من الشام إلى مصر ، وعن كيفية قصة يوسف ، فأنزل الله تعالى هذه الآية

Kurtubî in this text addresses the grammatical analysis (reason for the accusative case) of the word 'قرآنا' in the expression 'قرآنا عربيا' by conveying different views among linguists; he also transmits the connection of the verse with the revelation of the Qur'an as a whole on the Night of Power and then its piecemeal transmission, the narrations transmitted from Ibn 'Abbās, and Ibn 'Arabī's objection to this narration which he declared invalid regarding the claim of 'intermediary' (wasīta).

قال إبن العربي : وهذا باطل ليس بين جبريل وبين الله واسطة ولا بين جبريل ومحمد عليهما السلام واسطة

According to Ibn Kesîr, the revelation of the Qur'an in Arabic is because the Arabic language is the most eloquent, the clearest, and the most expansive in expressing meanings. For this reason, the most honored book was revealed in the most honored language, to the most honored prophet, through the mediation of angels, in the most honored region of the earth, and in Ramadan, the most honored month of the year, thus achieving perfection in every respect. Because the Qur'an is in Arabic, clear, and comprehensible, its meanings are detailed and its words are free from difficulty.

وذلك لأن لغة العرب أفصح اللغات وأبينها وأوسعها وأكثرها تأدية للمعاني التي تقوم بالنفوس فلهذا أنزل أشرف الكتب بأشرف اللغات على أشرف الرسل بسفارة الملائكة

According to Beydāwī, the pronoun 'tilka' (those) refers to the verses of the chapter and these are 'the Book'; these verses are clear in that they are miracles, or their meanings are manifest, or they are of such a nature as to inform the one who reflects that they come from Allah. Furthermore, according to a narration, these verses were revealed when Jewish scholars told the polytheist leaders to ask the Prophet about the migration of the Jacob family from al-Shām to Egypt and the story of Joseph. The expression 'an Arabic Qur'an' indicates that the word is originally a common noun (jins) but later became a proper noun specific to the whole through predominance (galaba), and the accusative case is explained through various grammatical interpretations; 'perhaps you will understand' (lealleküm ta'kılûn) expresses the purpose of the revelation being in this manner (collective or in their own language), namely that it is understood and grasped by reason, and moreover that such a story being narrated by someone who has not received learning is a miracle that cannot be conceived of except through revelation, which is knowable to reason.

تلك إشارة إلى آيات السورة وهي المراد ب الكتاب، أي تلك الآيات آيات السورة الظاهر أمرها في الإعجاز أو الواضحة معانيها، أو المبينة لمن تدبرها أنها من عند الله
