Q 7:37

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ كَـٰفِرِينَ

Traductions

Quel pire injuste, que celui qui invente un mensonge contre Allah, ou qui traite de mensonges Ses signes? Ceux là auront la part qui leur a été prescrite; jusqu'au moment où Nos Envoyés [Nos Anges] viennent à eux pour leur enlever l'âme, en leur disant: «Où sont ceux que vous invoquiez en dehors d'Allah?» - Ils répondront: «Nous ne les trouvons plus». Et ils témoigneront contre eux-mêmes qu'ils étaient mécréants.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

Tafsir

Personne n’est plus injuste que celui qui ment sur Allah en Lui attribuant un associé, une déficience ou des paroles qu’Il n’a pas dites, ou dément Ses signes clairs qui guident vers le droit chemin. Ceux qui possèdent ces caractéristiques recevront leur part des plaisirs du bas monde écrite dans la Table Préservée puis lorsque l’Ange de la Mort et ses aides parmi les anges viendront à eux afin de saisir leurs âmes, il leur sera dit en guise de réprimande: Où sont les divinités que vous adoriez à la place d’Allah? Invoquez-les et voyez si elles vous sont utiles. Les polythéistes répondront alors aux anges: Les divinités que nous adorions sont parties et ont disparu. Nous ne savons pas où elles sont. Ils avoueront qu’ils ont été des mécréants mais leur aveu à ce moment sera un argument qui se retournera contre eux et ne leur sera d’aucune utilité.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Ayat? For such their appointed portion will reach them from the Book (of Decrees) until Our messengers (the angel of death and his assistants) come to them to take their souls, they (the angels) will say: "Where are those whom you used to invoke and worship besides Allah," they will reply, "They have vanished and deserted us." And they will bear witness against themselves, that they were disbelievers (37) Idolators enjoy Their destined Share in This Life, but will lose Their Supporters upon Death Allah said, فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَاتِهِ (Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Ayat?) meaning, none is more unjust than whoever invents a lie about Allah or rejects the Ayat that He has revealed. Muhammad bin Ka'b Al-Qurazi said that, أُولَٰئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ (For such their appointed portion will reach them from the Book) refers to each person's deeds, alloted provisions and age. Similar was said by Ar-Rabi' bin Anas and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam. Allah said in similar statements, إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ - مَتَاعٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ الْعَذَابَ الشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ (Verily, those who invent a lie against Allah, will never be successful. (A brief) enjoyment in this world! And then unto Us will be their return, then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve.)[10:69-70] and, وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ كُفْرُهُ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ - نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلًا (And whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieve you. To Us is their return, and We shall inform them what they have done. Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men). We let them enjoy for a little while.)[31:23-24]. Allah said next, حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ (until when Our messengers come to them to take their souls.) Allah states that when death comes to the idolators and the angels come to capture their souls to take them to Hellfire, the angels horrify them, saying, "Where are the so-called partners (of Allah) whom you used to call in the life of this world, invoking and worshipping them instead of Allah? Call them so that they save you from what you are suffering." However, the idolators will reply, ضَلُّوا عَنَّا ("They have vanished and deserted us") meaning, we have lost them and thus, we do not hope in their benefit or aid, وَشَهِدُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ (And they will bear witness against themselves) they will admit and proclaim against themselves, أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَافِرِينَ (that they were disbelievers.)
