[Amman yabda'u al-khalqa thumma yu'eeduhu] (Or, who originates the creation, then repeats it), meaning: the Resurrection. [Qul hatoo burhanakum] (Say, bring forth your proof), Allah commanded the Prophet, peace be upon him, to say to the polytheists: bring forth your argument, [in kuntum sadiqeen] (if you are truthful) that these idols created any creation or fashioned any of this. All of this (fol. 251) is a continuation of the first discourse. [A-Allahu khayrun amma yushrikoon] (Is Allah better, or what they associate [with Him]?), meaning: that Allah does all of this, and He is better than their idols.
﴿أَمن يبدؤ الْخلق ثمَّ يُعِيدهُ﴾ يَعْنِي: الْبَعْث. ﴿قل هاتوا برهانكم﴾ أَمر الله النَّبِي عليه السلام أَنْ يَقُولَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ: هَاتُوا حُجَّتَكُمْ ﴿إِن كُنْتُم صَادِقين﴾ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَوْثَانَ خَلَقَتْ خَلْقًا أَوْ صَنَعَتْ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا، وَهَذَا كُله (ل ٢٥١) تبع للْكَلَام الأول ﴿آللَّهُ خير أما يشركُونَ﴾ أَيْ: أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا كُلَّهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَوْثَانِهِمْ.
