10:94

فَإِن كُنتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ فَاسْأَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ ٱلْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَقَدْ جَآءَكَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ

 

fa-in kunta fī shakkin mimmā anzalnā ilayka fasali alladhīna yaqraūna l-kitāba min qablika laqad jāaka l-aqu min rabbika falā takūnanna mina l-mum`tarīna

 

The Aya says:

So if you (singular) were in doubth of what We brought down to you then ask those who express the book from before you.  Indeed the binding truth came to you (singular) from your nurturing Lord so do not be amongst the skeptics

 

My personal note:

This verse addresses the prophet Muhammad to reassure him that what he got was the truth and in agreement with much of what cam before him to the people of the book (Jews and Christians and people affiliated with them)

Note: the root is SH-K-K and it means in concrete when the spear had pinned an entity. Conceptually, it is used for whenever an entity enters another, as in the work with the needle and thread and so on. It is also used for doubt and lack of certainty. This could be related to the concrete because the doubt is the result of dealing with interwoven issues or that it interlinks too many things together which end up in confusion and doubt. SHAKKIN, in this context is confusion and doubt.
