Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Faatir, Ayah 14
إِن تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوا۟ دُعَآءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا۟ مَا ٱسْتَجَابُوا۟ لَكُمْ ۖ وَيَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ ۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍۢ
If you invoke them, they do not hear your supplication; and if they heard, they would not respond to you. And on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your association. And none can inform you like [one] Acquainted [with all matters].

If you call on them they will not hear your call and even if they heard —hypothetically speaking — they would not be able to respond to you; and on the Day of Resurrection they will disown your idolatrous associations in other words your associating them with God in power that is to say they will declare themselves innocent of you and of your worship of them. And none can inform you about the state in the two abodes like One Who is Aware Knower and this is God exalted be He.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(If ye pray unto them) i.e. the deities (they hear not your prayer) because they are deaf and dumb, (and if they heard they could not grant it you) because they despise you. (On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you) the deities will absolve themselves from you for associating them as partners with Allah and for worshipping them beside Allah. (None can Inform you) of them and their works (like Him Who is Aware) i.e. Allah.
