﴿ وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍۢ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱئْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ﴾

“And [so,] whenever Our messages are conveyed to them in all their clarity, their only argument is this: “Bring forth our fore­fathers [as witnesses], if what you claim is true!””

(And when Our clear revelations) explaining the commands and prohibitions (are recited unto them) to Abu Jahl and his host (their only argument) and excuse to Muhammad (pbuh) (is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers then) do bring, O Muhammad, our fathers back to life so that we may ask them whether what you say is true or false, (if ye are truthful) that we will be resurrected again after we die.
