هُدًى وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ Qur’an Ghafir (40:54)
Hudan wa th ikr a liolee alalb a b i
as a [means of] guidance and a reminder for those who were endowed with insight:37
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Sc., "and thus, too, have We bestowed Our revelation upon Muhammad". This connects with the opening words of verse {51}, "We shall indeed succour Our apostles and those who have attained to faith", thus explaining the purport of the preceding story of the believer who stood up for Moses. The reference to "those [of the children of Israel] who were endowed with insight" and therefore could benefit from the message of Moses, is undoubtedly meant to remind the followers of the Our'an that this divine writ, too, is for "those who are endowed with insight" (u-lu 'I-albab), for "people who think" (qawm yatafakkarun), and "people who use their reason" (qawm ya qilun).

which was a guide and an admonition to the people of understanding.
