وإذا رأى الذين أشركوا ) يوم القيامة ، ( شركاءهم ) أوثانهم ، ( قالوا ربنا هؤلاء شركاؤنا الذين كنا ندعوا من دونك ) أربابا ونعبدهم ، ( فألقوا ) يعني الأوثان ، ( إليهم القول ) أي : قالوا لهم ، ( إنكم لكاذبون ) في تسميتنا آلهة ما دعوناكم إلى عبادتنا .
When the idolaters in the afterlife will see the false deities that they used to worship besides Allah, they will say: “O our Lord! These are our partners that we used to worship besides You.” They will say this to make them carry their burdens. Allah will cause their deities to speak and they will respond to them saying: You - O idolaters - were false in your worship of a partner with Allah, for He has no partner deserving of worship.
