Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out.meaning, each one of these idolators wants to have a book revealed to him as Allah revealed to the Prophet .Mujahid and others have said this.This is similar to Allah's statement,وَإِذَا جَأءَتْهُمْ ءَايَةٌ قَالُواْ لَن نُّوْمِنَ حَتَّى نُوْتَى مِثْلَ مَأ أُوتِىَ رُسُلُ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهُAnd when there comes to them a sign they say:"We shall not believe until we receive the like of that which the Messengers of Allah had received."Allah knows best with whom to place His Message. (6:124)It is reported in a narration from Qatadah that he said,"They want to be declared innocent (on the Day of Judgement) without having to do any deeds."Then Allah says,كَلَّ بَل لَا يَخَافُونَ الاْخِرَةَ
