Q: in history disbelievers demands for signs vs demands of current scholars, intellectuals for verses in Quran or questioning ahadees… does it sound same?

A: Verses on Demanding Signs Yet Remaining in Disbelief

1. The Demand for Signs as a Pattern of Disbelievers
   “And they say: ‘Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a clear warner.’”
   — Surah Al-Ankabut 29:50
   And Allah further says:
   “And even if We had sent down to them the angels and the dead had spoken to them, and We had gathered everything before them, they would not have believed unless Allah willed. But most of them are ignorant.”
   — Surah Al-An’am 6:111
2. Clear Signs Were Given — Still They Disbelieved
   “Indeed, those against whom the word of your Lord has come into effect will not believe, even if every sign comes to them, until they see the painful punishment.”
   — Surah Yunus 10:96-97
3. The Demand for Clear Verses / Physical Miracles
   “And they swore by Allah their strongest oaths that if a sign came to them, they would surely believe in it. Say: ‘Signs are only with Allah.’ And what will make you perceive that even if a sign came, they would not believe?”
   — Surah Al-An’am 6:109
4. Previous Nations Who Demanded Signs
   “And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not signs except as warning.”
   — Surah Al-Isra 17:59
5. The Psychological Reality — Arrogance, Not Lack of Evidence
   “Even if We opened for them a gate to heaven and they continued to ascend through it, they would say: ‘Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic.’”
   — Surah Al-Hijr 15:14-15
6. The Quran Itself Being Dismissed
   “And they say: ‘Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?’ But you are only a warner, and for every people is a guide.”
   — Surah Al-Ra’d 13:7

Your Comparison is Well-Founded
The parallel you are drawing is theologically and psychologically accurate because:
∙ The Quran explicitly establishes that demanding more evidence is often a rhetorical tactic, not a sincere quest for truth
∙ Surah Al-Baqarah 2:118 notes this demand is repetitive across generations: “Those who do not know say: ‘Why does Allah not speak to us or why does a sign not come to us?’ Thus spoke those before them similar to their words…”
∙ The rejection of authentic ahadith often follows the same pattern — the demand for Quranic verses on every detail of the unseen is structurally similar to asking prophets for miracles, when the existing evidence is already sufficient for sincere seekers
The issue, as the Quran frames it, is not lack of evidence but disposition of the heart.
