Al-Jalalayn Commentary

And when the idolaters behold their associates of devils and others they will say ‘Our Lord these are our associates whom we used to invoke whom we used to worship besides You’. But they will fling to them the saying that is they will say to them ‘You are indeed liars!’ when you say that you used to worship us — as is stated by them in another verse ‘It was not us that they worshipped’ Q. 2863; and also in the verse They will deny their worship of them Q. 1982.

(And when those who ascribed partners to Allah behold those partners of theirs) their gods, (they will say: Our Lord!) O our Lord! (these are our partners) our gods (unto whom we used to cry instead of Thee) they commanded us to worship them. (But they will fling to them the saying) i.e. the idols will answer them and say: (Lo! ye verily are liars!) in what you say: we never commanded you to worship us nor were we aware of your worship.
