Al-Bayyinah 98:1–3
The clear sign
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ ١ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ يَتْلُوا۟ صُحُفًۭا مُّطَهَّرَةًۭ ٢ فِيهَا كُتُبٌۭ قَيِّمَةٌۭ ٣
The meaning, simply
Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the idol-worshippers would not leave their disbelief until the clear sign they were promised came to them: a Messenger from Allah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, reciting pure pages with true news and just commands that guide to the truth.
