An-Naba 78:1–2
The great news
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ١ عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٢
The meaning, simply
The disbelievers of Quraysh were asking each other about a very great piece of news: the Quran, which told them that Allah will raise people up after death. They doubted it and called it a lie.
