Tafsir of verse 7
Al-Mukhtasar
Those who disbelieved in Allah - persisting in their rejection and obstinance - say: Why has no sign been sent down to Muhammad from his Lord, just as was sent down to Moses and Jesus? You, O Messenger, are only a warner who warns people of Allah’s punishment. You only have signs that Allah has given you. Every community has a prophet who shows them and guides them to the path of truth.
The disbelievers say, “Why has no sign4 been sent down to him from his Lord?” You are only a warner, and for every people there is a guide.

And whatever you spend of good - it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.
