    And His word أُفٍّ لَكُمْ — He says: Shame upon you and upon the gods that you worship apart from Allah! Do you not understand how detestable is what you do in worshipping that which causes no harm and brings no benefit, so that you might abandon this worship and worship Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and in Whose hand are benefit and harm?

    وقوله ( أُفٍّ لَكُمْ ) يقول: قُبحا لكم وللآلهة التي تعبدون من دون الله، أفلا تعقلون قبح ما تفعلون من عبادتكم ما لا يضرّ ولا ينفع، فتتركوا عبادته، وتعبدوا الله الذي فطر السماوات والأرض، والذي بيده النفع والضرّ.
