Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (this is the creation of allah) this is the creation which i have created. (now show me that which those (ye worship) beside him) i.e. the idols (have created. nay, but the wrong-doers) the idolaters (are in error manifest) in manifest error!
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : this is god’s creation, in other words, what is created by him. now show me, inform me, o people of mecca, what those [you worship] besides him, [those] other than him, have created, namely, your gods, so that you have associated them with him, exalted be he (mā is an interrogative of denial and a subject; dhā has the significance of alladhī, and what follows it of the relative clause is the predicate [of the subject mā]; arūnī glosses ‘the action’, and what follows it stands in place of two direct objects). nay (bal, is for transition) but the evildoers are in manifest error, [error] that is evident because of their ascribing partners to god: and you are like them.
