٣٢٨٦ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «سَأَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ» النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آيَةً، فَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ بِمَكَّةَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَنَزَلَتِ: {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ} يَقُولُ: ذَاهِبٌ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The message is that there are some stubborn people who do not believe in the Divine natural retribution, therefore they never learn lessons, even from the biggest of disasters. Had the Prophet ﷺ shown them a miracle bigger than the splitting of the moon, they would have rejected it too, calling it just an act of magic.
