﴿ ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ بِضُرٍّۢ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ ﴾

“Should I take to worship­ping [other] deities beside Him? [But then,] if the Most Gracious should will that harm befall me, their intercession could not in the least avail me, nor could they save me:”

Shall I take a-attakhidu regarding the two hamzas here the same applies as mentioned with regard to a-andhartuhum above; this is an interrogative meant as a denial besides Him in other words other than Him other gods idols whose intercession that intercession of theirs which you assert if the Compassionate One should wish me any harm will not avail me in any way nor will they be able to save me? wa-lā yunqidhūn is an adjectival qualification of ālihatan ‘gods’.
