( وإذا قيل لهم اتبعوا ما أنزل الله قالوا بل نتبع ما وجدنا عليه آباءنا ) قال الله - عز وجل - : ( أولو كان الشيطان يدعوهم إلى عذاب السعير ) وجواب " لو " محذوف ، ومجازه : يدعوهم فيتبعونه ، يعني : يتبعون الشيطان وإن كان الشيطان يدعوهم إلى عذاب السعير .
If it is said to these disputers regarding the oneness of Allah, “Follow the revelation Allah has revealed to His Messenger!” they say, “I will not follow it, rather, I will follow in the worship of idols that I found our forefathers doing.” Will they follow their forefathers even though Satan is the one calling them towards deviance by inviting them to worship idols, that will lead them to the punishment of a blazing fire on the Day of Judgement?
