Tafsir
(He coineth for you) O congregation of disbelievers (a similitude of yourselves) a human being like you. (Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess) your slave boys and slave girls, (partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you) on what We gave you of wealth, family and offspring, (equal with you) i.e. your slave boys and slave girls (in respect thereof) in that which We bestowed upon you, (so that ye fear them) you fear their rebuke (as ye fear each other) as you fear the rebuke of your fathers, sons and brothers were you not to fulfil their due rights in inheritance? They said: " No! " Allah said: " Would you then accept for Me that which you do not accept for yourselves: you make My servants My partners but refuse to make your own slaves your partners? " (Thus We display the revelations) the signs of My divine Oneness and power (for people who have sense) for people who believe in the similitudes of the Qur'an.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
He has struck He has coined for you O idolaters a similitude that is actually drawn from yourselves and it is as follows do you have among those whom your right hands own that is to say among your servants any partners of yourselves who may share in what We have provided for you of property and so on so that you and they are equal therein fearing them as you fear your own folk just as you fear those free men like you? the interrogative is meant as a negation in other words ‘your servants are not partners of yours in what you own so how can you make some of God’s servants partners of His.
