‏‏‏‏ فَهَلا ‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏ ‏‏‏ ‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي: آلهتَهم الَّتِي عبدوها، زَعَمُوا أَنَّهَا تقربهم إِلَى اللَّه زلفى، يَقُول: فَهَلا نصروهم إِذْ جَاءَهُم الْعَذَاب.

قَالَ محمدٌ: الْمَعْنى: اتخذوهم آلِهَة يَتَقَرَّبُون بهم إِلَى اللَّه، وَهُوَ مَعْنَى قَوْلِ يَحْيَى.
