Al-Furqan (Arabic: اَلْفُرْقَانْ, ’al-furqān; meaning: The Criterion) is the 25th chapter of the Qur'an, with 77 verses . The name Al-Furqan, [1] or "The Criterion", refers to the Qur'an itself as the decisive factor between good and evil. This Surah is named Al-Furqan from the 4th word in the 1st ayat. [2] [note 1]
Each chapter, which deals with one surah, is structured around certain verses of the surah, or words occurring in the text, which need to be explained.

15:87-- And we have given you seven often repeated verses [referring to the seven verses of Surah Fatihah] and the great Quran. (Al-Quran 15:87) [ 146 ] Al-Suyuti , the noted medieval philologist and commentator of the Quran thought five verses had questionable "attribution to God" and were likely spoken by either Muhammad or Gabriel.
The verse refers to an evil eye.This meant that they wanted to make Muhammad sick and die with a special kind of look. [4] [5] [6] It also suggests that the verse is a metonymy for 'very angry glances', as they looked very furiously as if they wanted to kill Muhammad.
Al-Suyuti said: “He (i.e. Ibn Katheer) has an exegesis that was not composed according to his style.”; Muhammad bin Ali Al-Shawkani said: “He has the famous exegesis, and it is in volumes, and it was collected in Va’i and transmitted the schools of thought, stories and traditions, and spoke the best and most authentic speech, and it is one of the best exegeses.

William Montgomery Watt, for example, stressed the narratological significance of these types of reports: "The Quranic allusions had to be elaborated into complete stories and the background filled in if the main ideas were to be impressed on the minds of simple men."
