Commentary
They said, meaning the people of misguidance: "Who has done this foul deed with our gods?" Then they resumed the news about the doer and said, confirming their knowledge that what the Friend, peace be upon him, established against their falsehood inclines the hearts to believe that this act is true: "Indeed, he is among the wrongdoers," as he placed the humiliation in the wrong place. For the right of the gods is honor, not humiliation and vengeance.
