16:101

وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَآ ءَايَةًۭ مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٍۢ ۙ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفْتَرٍۭ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ١٠١

Saheeh International

And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allah is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muhammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

The Idolators' Accusation that the Prophet was a Liar since some Ayat were abrogated, and the Refutation of their Claim Allah says:وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَا ايَةً مَّكَانَ ايَةٍ وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُواْAnd when We change a verse in place of another - and Allah knows best what He reveals - they (the disbelievers) say:"You (O Muhammad) are but a forger."Allah tells us of the weak minds of the idolators, and their lack of faith and conviction. He explains that it is impossible for them to have faith when He has decreed that they are doomed. When they saw that some rulings had been changed by being abrogated, they said to the Messenger of Allah:إِنَّمَا أَنتَ مُفْتَرٍYou are but a forger,meaning one who tells lies.But Allah is the Lord Who does whatever He wills, and rules as He wants.بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَRather, most of them know not. بَدَّلْنَا ايَةً مَّكَانَ ايَةٍAnd when We change a verse (of the Qur'an) in place of another,Mujahid said:this means, "We remove one and put another in its place."Qatadah said:this is like the Ayah:مَا نَنسَخْ مِنْ ءَايَةٍ أَوْ نُنسِهَاWhatever verse We change (abrogate) or omit (the abrogated)..." (2:106) Allah said, in response to them
