149فَاستَفتِهِم أَلِرَبِّكَ البَناتُ وَلَهُمُ البَنونَMuhammad AsadAND NOW ask them1 to enlighten thee: Has thy Sustainer daughters, whereas they would have [only] sons?2This reference to people who ascribe divinity to beings other than God connects with verse 4 ("verily, most surely, your God is One") as well as with verses 69-70 ("behold, they found their forebears on a wrong way, and [now] they make haste to follow in their footsteps").For an explanation of this passage, see 16:57-59 and the corresponding notes.
