So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has certainly come to you from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.

اب اگر تجھے اُس ہدایت کی طرف سے کچھ بھی شک ہو جو ہم نے تجھ پر نازل کی ہے تو اُن لوگوں سے پوچھ لے جو پہلے سے کتاب پڑھ رہے ہیں فی الواقع یہ تیرے پاس حق ہی آیا ہے تیرے رب کی طرف سے، لہٰذا تو شک کرنے والوں میں سے نہ ہو

Maka jika kamu (Muhammad) berada dalam keragu-raguan tentang apa yang Kami turunkan kepadamu, maka tanyakanlah kepada orang-orang yang membaca kitab sebelum kamu. Sesungguhnya telah datang kebenaran kepadamu dari Tuhanmu, sebab itu janganlah sekali-kali kamu temasuk orang-orang yang ragu-ragu.

Allah said:
الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِىَّ الأُمِّىَّ الَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنجِيلِ
(Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write whom they find written of with them in the Tawrah and the Injil.)(7:157) They are as certain of this as they are about who their children are, yet they hide it and distort it. They did not believe in it despite its clear evidence. Therefore Allah said:
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ - وَلَوْ جَآءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ ءايَةٍ حَتَّى يَرَوُاْ الْعَذَابَ الاٌّلِيمَ
(Truly, those, against whom the Word (wrath) of your Lord has been justified, will not believe. Even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful torment.) meaning they would not believe in a way that they might benefit from that belief. This is when they believe at a time one may not be able to benefit from his belief. An example is when Musa prayed against Fir`awn and his chiefs, saying:
رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَى أَمْوَلِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُواْ حَتَّى يَرَوُاْ الْعَذَابَ الاٌّلِيمَ
(Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment.)(10:88) And Allah said:
وَلَوْ أَنَّنَا نَزَّلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَـئِكَةَ وَكَلَّمَهُمُ الْمَوْتَى وَحَشَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ قُبُلاً مَّا كَانُواْ لِيُؤْمِنُواْ إِلاَّ أَن يَشَآءَ اللَّهُ وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَجْهَلُونَ
(And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless Allah willed, but most of them behave ignorantly.) (6:111) Allah then said:
المُيَسَّر
فإن كنت -أيها الرسول- في ريب من حقيقة ما أخبرناك به فاسأل الذين يقرؤون الكتاب من قبلك من أهل التوراة والإنجيل، فإن ذلك ثابت في كتبهم، لقد جاءك الحق اليقين من ربك بأنك رسول الله، وأن هؤلاء اليهود والنصارى يعلمون صحة ذلك، ويجدون صفتك في كتبهم، ولكنهم ينكرون ذلك مع علمهم به، فلا تكوننَّ من الشاكِّين في صحة ذلك وحقيقته.
