Abstract

 The verse “ما أرسَلنا مِن رَسولٍ إلّا بِلِسانِ قَومِه” (“And we sent only a messenger to the nation in their language”) (Ibrahim: 4), the story of the adaptation and revelation of the Quran in the language of the Quraysh, and the clarification of the Quran to the revelation of the word of God in Arabic (Al-Shua’ra’a: 195 and Al-Nahl: 103), are confirming the eloquence of the Arabic language in the ear of revelation or the people of Hijaz. However, the deniers of the revelation of the Quran have tried to show the incompatibility between the Quran and the language of the Quraysh - as the first audience of the Quran - to deny both the claim that it was revealed in the language of the people and to create doubt on the eloquence of the Quran by denying the eloquence of the language of the audience. In an important and ponderable case, by describing the people of Hijaz (Quraysh) as the facilitators of Hamzah and the abundance of Hamzah’s research in the Quran, they have considered the promise of revelation in the language of Quraysh to be distorted. Although other aspects such as the presence of words in the Quran with Persian or Hebrew roots or the difference in readings can be grounds for the formation of the suspicion of the non-adaptation of the revelation of the Quran to the language of the people or the claim of the lack of eloquence of the Quran; The present study seeks to prove the originality of Hamza’s research among Quraysh and answer the mentioned doubt by criticizing the views that favor the facilitation of Hamza among the Quraysh and consider Hamza’s research as a product of urgency or similar factors
