وَنَزَعْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ شَهِيدًۭا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ
Wa naza'naa min kulli ummatin shaheedan faqulnaa haatoo burhaanakum fa'alimooo annal haqqa lillaahi wa dalla 'anhum maa kaanoo yaftaroon
And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allah, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.
Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
And We shall draw bring forth from every community a witness and this will be their prophet who will bear witness against what they say and We shall say to them ‘Produce your evidence’ for the justification of the idolatry which you asserted. Then they will know that the right to divineness is God’s — none share it with Him. And that which they used to invent in this world of His having an associate exalted be He high above such associations will fail them.
