    Verily لَقَدْ كُنتُمْ — O people — أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ , by your worship of it, فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ . He says: in straying from the path of the Truth and in deviation from the straight way — mubīn, that is to say: clear to whoever considers it with his intellect, that you are thus in deviation from the Truth.

    (لَقَدْ كُنْتُم) أيها القوم ( أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ ) بعبادتكم إياها( فِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ ) يقول: في ذهاب عن سبيل الحقّ، وجور عن قصد السبيل مبين: يقول: بين لمن تأمله بعقل، إنكم كذلك في جور عن الحقّ.
