Tafsir Al-Jalalayn: An-Najm, Ayah 28
وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ ۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ شَيْـًۭٔا
And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.

Other Scholars on This Ayah
Tafsir
Scholars offer diverse perspectives
(And they have no knowledge thereof) they have no proof or elucidation about what they say. (They follow but a guess) they lie out of surmise and do not have any certainty, (and lo! a guess) and worship based on guess and claims based on guess (can never take the place of the Truth) cannot spare one from Allah's chastisement.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
But they do not have any knowledge thereof of this claim. They follow in this respect nothing but conjecture which they have conjured up and indeed conjecture can never substitute for the truth that is to say when it comes to acquiring knowledge of that which one is required to have knowledge of.
