وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتٍۢ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱئْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, "Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

(And when Our clear revelations) explaining the commands and prohibitions (are recited unto them) to Abu Jahl and his host (their only argument) and excuse to Muhammad (pbuh) (is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers then) do bring, O Muhammad, our fathers back to life so that we may ask them whether what you say is true or false, (if ye are truthful) that we will be resurrected again after we die.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
And when Our signs of the Qur’ān indicating Our power to resurrect are recited to them being clear signs evident signs bayyinātin ‘clear signs’ is a circumstantial qualifier their only argument is to say ‘Bring us our fathers alive if you are being truthful’ when you say that we will be resurrected.
