Commentary
﴿Or did they create﴾ meaning, in the manner of partnership, ﴿the heavens and the earth﴾. They are therefore knowledgeable about what is in them with complete knowledge and certainty, until they know that you have fabricated it, so that for them is a response and mockery of it.
And when the estimation is: there was nothing of that for them to have a doubt in the words concerning you, he added to it his saying: ﴿Rather, they do not have certainty﴾ meaning, they do not have any type of certainty to settle on one thing for it being the truth, or to know that these disgraceful implications are binding upon them, so they would refrain from similar things.
