القرطاس: ما يكتب فيه. قال الله تعالى:

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالي: ﴿ولو نزلنا عليك كتابا في قرطاس﴾ [الأنعام: 7] القرطاس ما يكتب فيه كالرق والكاغد ونحوها، لا كالخشبة والحجر وإن كان يكتب فيه، ولذلك قال ابن عرفة: العرب تسمي الصحيفة قرطاسا من أي شيء كانت، فأجد في مسماه الصحيفة وهي مختصة بما يطوي وينشر.

Say: "God (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge In vain discourse and trifling.
