Ibn Abbas Commentary

They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth)) all that is through Allah's power. (Say) to them, O Muhammad: (How then are ye bewitched) then why do you lie about Allah; it is also said that this means, according to a different reading: see, O Muhammad, how they turn away because of lies?

They will say ‘God.’ a variant reading for Allāh ‘God’ in both instances verses 87 and 89 has li’Llāh ‘to God’ which is in keeping with the sense of ‘to whom belongs what has been mentioned?’. Say ‘How then are you bewitched?’ how then are you duped and turned away from the truth the worship of God alone in other words ‘How do you envisage all this to be invalid?’.
