Sura 46
Aya 8
8
أَم يَقولونَ افتَراهُ ۖ قُل إِنِ افتَرَيتُهُ فَلا تَملِكونَ لي مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيئًا ۖ هُوَ أَعلَمُ بِما تُفيضونَ فيهِ ۖ كَفىٰ بِهِ شَهيدًا بَيني وَبَينَكُم ۖ وَهُوَ الغَفورُ الرَّحيمُ

Muhammad Asad

Or do they say, "He has invented all this"? Say [O Muhammad]: "Had I invented it, you would not be of the least help to me against God.1 He is fully aware of that [slander] into which you so recklessly plunge: enough is He as a witness between me and you! And [withal,] He alone is truly-forgiving, a true dispenser of grace."2
  • Sc., "then why should I have invented all this for your sake?"
  • The implication is, "May God forgive you, and grace you with His guidance" (Zamakhshari).
