Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Say) O Muhammad: (Disbelieve ye) O people of Mecca (verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days) each day the equivalent of 1,000 days of the days which you count: Sunday, Monday, etc., (and ascribe ye unto Him rivals) from among the idols? (He (and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds) the one who created them is the Lord of all that which has a spirit.
