لِأَنَّهُمْ عَايَشُوا الْوَحْيَ وَعَاصَرُوا التَّنْزِيلَ وَوَقَعَتِ الْحَوَادِثُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ،
Because they lived through the revelation, witnessed its descent, and the events took place before them,
التَّنْزِيلَ — the descent. The definite direct object of 'were contemporaries with', hence accusative. With 'al-' it names the specific descent (the sending-down of revelation) that the group witnessed firsthand.
