Transliteration:( Wa iz qaalul laahumma in kaana haazaa huwal haqqa min 'indika fa amtir 'alainaa hijaaratam minas samaaa'i awi'tinaa bi 'azaabin aleem )
65. Reason for its revelation: Nadar bin Harith and his friends would impress their followers by reciting this prayer to make the people believe that they have full confidence about the truth of their claim and the falseness of the Holy QUR'AAN. Therefore they are offering such a prayer with such a determination. This verse was revealed concerning them.

Please refer to Surah Anfal ayat 31 which provides the complete commentary from verse 31 through 33.
26. These words were uttered by way of challenge rather than a prayer to God. What they meant was that had the message of the Prophet (peace be on him) been true, and from God, its rejection would have entailed a heavy scourge, and stones would have fallen on them from heaven. Since nothing of the sort happened, it was evident that the message was neither true nor from God.
