Al-Hajj • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ يَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ ﴾
“[By behaving thus,] he invokes, instead of God, something that can neither harm nor benefit him: [and] this is indeed the utmost one can go astray.”
(He calleth) the Banu'l-Hallaf worship others (beside Allah, unto that which hurts him not) if they do not worship them (nor benefits him) if they worshipped them. (That is the far error) far from the Truth and guidance.
