تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا عن هؤلاء المشركين به : إنهم يعرفون أن الله خالق السماوات والأرض ، وحده لا شريك له ، ومع هذا يعبدون معه شركاء يعترفون أنها خلق له وملك له; ولهذا قال : ( ولئن سألتهم من خلق السماوات والأرض ليقولن الله قل الحمد لله ) [ أي : إذ قامت عليكم الحجة باعترافكم ] ، ( بل أكثرهم لا يعلمون ) .
