Muhammad Challenged to Produce a Spring (Quran vs. Hadith)

The Quran informs us that it contains details for every example of our religion, yet most people insist upon disbelieving.

17:89 We have cited for the people in this Quran all kinds of examples, but most people insist upon disbelieving.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا

Despite this, most Muslims go to sources other than the Quran, such as Hadith, for their religion. As if that is not bad enough, they uphold the Hadith over the Quran. A clear example of this can be seen in the immediate next verse, where the people challenge the messenger to produce for the people a spring that specifically gushes out.

17:90 They said, “We will not believe you unless you cause a spring to gush out of the ground.

وَقَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَنۢبُوعًا

Then, the verse follows with additional requests and ends with the messenger responding that he is only human. This implies that he cannot provide these frivolous requests they are asking of him and can only deliver what his Lord decreed.

17:91 “Or unless you own a garden of date palms and grapes, with rivers running through it. “Or unless you cause masses from the sky, as you claimed, to fall on us. Or unless you bring GOD and the angels before our eyes. “Or unless you own a luxurious mansion, or unless you climb into the sky. Even if you do climb, we will not believe unless you bring a book that we can read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord. Am I any more than a human messenger?”
