Or choose they intercessors other than Allah? Say: What! Even though they have power over nothing and have no intelligence?

What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى ذاما للمشركين في اتخاذهم شفعاء من دون الله ، وهم الأصنام والأنداد ، التي اتخذوها من تلقاء أنفسهم بلا دليل ولا برهان حداهم على ذلك ، وهي لا تملك شيئا من الأمر ، بل وليس لها عقل تعقل به ، ولا سمع تسمع به ، ولا بصر تبصر به ، بل هي جمادات أسوأ حالا من الحيوان بكثير .
