Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
quran:29:61 –

If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, "Allah." Then how are they deluded?

And if (wa-la-in: the lām is for oaths) you were to ask them, namely, the disbelievers, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth and disposed the sun and the moon?’ They would assuredly say, ‘God.’ So how then are they turned away?, from affirming His Oneness after affirming that ˹God created them˺.

القرآن:٢٩:٦١ –

وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

{ولئن} لام قسم {سألتهم} أي: الكفار {من خلق السماوات والأرض وسخَّر الشمس والقمر ليقولُنَّ الله فأنّى يؤفكون} يصرفون عن توحيده بعد إقرارهم بذلك.

And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?

And if (wa-la-in: the lām is for oaths) you ask them who created them, they will surely say, ‘God’ (layaqūlunna: the indicative nūn and the ˹plural˺ person indicator wāw have been omitted). How can they then deviate?, ˹how˺ can they be turned away from worshipping God?
