قُل لَّوْ كَانَ مَعَهُۥٓ ءَالِهَةٌۭ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذًۭا لَّٱبْتَغَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ سَبِيلًۭا ٤٢
Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): If there were other gods along with Him, as they say, then had they sought a way against the Lord of the Throne.
Say, [O Muhammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."
Say, (O Muhammad): "Had there been other gods with Him, as they claim, they would surely have attempted to find a way to the Lord of the Throne.
يَقُولُ تَعَالَى: قُلْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لِهَؤُلَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ الزَّاعِمِينَ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ شَرِيكًا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، الْعَابِدِينَ مَعَهُ غَيْرَهُ لِيُقَرِّبَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ زُلْفَى: لَوْ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ كَمَا تَقُولُونَ، وَأَنَّ مَعَهُ آلِهَةً تُعْبَدُ لِتُقَرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ وَتُشَفَّعَ لَدَيْهِ -لَكَانَ أُولَئِكَ الْمَعْبُودُونَ يَعْبُدُونَهُ وَيَتَقَرَّبُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيَبْتَغُونَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْقُرْبَةَ، فَاعْبُدُوهُ أَنْتُمْ وَحْدَهُ كَمَا يَعْبُدُهُ مَنْ تَدْعُونَهُ مِنْ دُونِهِ، وَلَا حَاجَةَ لَكُمْ إِلَى مَعْبُودٍ يَكُونُ وَاسِطَةً بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يَرْضَاهُ، بَلْ يَكْرَهُهُ وَيَأْبَاهُ. وَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ جَمِيعِ رُسُلِهِ وَأَنْبِيَائِهِ.
ثُمَّ نَزَّهَ نَفْسَهُ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَقَدَّسَهَا فَقَالَ: ﴿سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ﴾ أَيْ: هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُشْرِكُونَ الْمُعْتَدُونَ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي زَعْمِهِمْ أَنَّ مَعَهُ آلِهَةً أُخْرَى ﴿عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا﴾ أَيْ: تَعَالِيًا كَبِيرًا، بَلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ، الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ.
