HUUD — Ayat 35
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَعَلَيَّ إِجْرَامِي وَأَنَاْ بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرَمُونَ
Or do they say [about Prophet Muhammad], "He invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, then upon me is [the consequence of] my crime; but I am innocent of what [crimes] you commit."
Tafsir Ibnu Katsir
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَاْ بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرَمُونَ
35. Or they (the pagans of Makkah) say: â€He has fabricated it.'' Say: â€If I have fabricated it, upon me be my crimes, but I am innocent of (all) those crimes which you commit. This is presented in the middle of the story to affirm the story itself. It is as if Allah, the Exalted, is saying to Muhammad , â€Or do these obstinate disbelievers say that he fabricated this and invented it himself''
