ءَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ بِضُرٍّۢ لَّا تُغْنِ عَنِّى شَفَٰعَتُهُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا يُنقِذُونِ
Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

(Shall I take) shall I worship ((other) gods in place of Him) idols because of your command (when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm) any severe punishment, (their intercession will avail me naught) they have no intercession when it comes to Allah's chastisement, (nor can they save) nor can the idols save me from Allah's chastisement?
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Shall I take a-attakhidu regarding the two hamzas here the same applies as mentioned with regard to a-andhartuhum above; this is an interrogative meant as a denial besides Him in other words other than Him other gods idols whose intercession that intercession of theirs which you assert if the Compassionate One should wish me any harm will not avail me in any way nor will they be able to save me? wa-lā yunqidhūn is an adjectival qualification of ālihatan ‘gods’.
