And when you do not bring them that is the people of Mecca a sign from among those which they request they say ‘Why have you not chosen one?’ why have you not produced one all by yourself? Say to them ‘I follow only that which is revealed to me from my Lord and it is not for me to bring anything from myself; this Qur’ān is insight proofs from your Lord and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe’.
- 7:203203
وَإِذَا لَمْ تَأْتِهِمْ بِآيَةٍ قَالُوا لَوْلَا اجْتَبَيْتَهَا ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَتَّبِعُ مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ مِنْ رَبِّي ۚ هَٰذَا بَصَائِرُ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when you do not bring a (Qur'anic) verse to them, they say: "Why don't you make one up?" Say: "I follow only what my Lord reveals to me." These (revelations) are an evident proof from your Lord, and a guidance and grace for those who believe.
