Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Al-A'raaf, Ayah 195
أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌۭ يَمْشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍۢ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌۭ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌۭ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۗ قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ
Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muhammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.

Have they feet wherewith they walk or indeed have they hands aydin is the plural of yad wherewith they can grasp or indeed have they eyes wherewith they can see or indeed have they ears wherewith they give ear? an interrogative of rejection in other words they have none of these things which you have so why do you worship them when you are more complete in being than they are? Say to them O Muhammad (s) ‘Call upon your associates to destroy me; then scheme against me and waste no time do not give me any respite for I am not concerned with you.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Have they feet wherewith they walk) to goodness, (or have they hands wherewith they hold) with which they can give and take, (or have they eyes wherewith they see) your worship, (or have they ears wherewith they hear) your call? (Say) O Muhammad to the idolaters of Mecca: (Call upon your (so- called) partners (of Allah)) seek the help of your gods, (and then contrive against me) scheme you all together to destroy me, (spare me not!) do not give me any respite.
