Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

أَمِ اتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِ ءَالِهَةً قُلْ(Or have they taken for worship gods besides Him Say:) -- O Muhammad --هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ(Bring your proof.) your evidence for what you are saying.هَـذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ(This is the Reminder for those with me) means, the Qur'an.وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِى(and the Reminder for those before me) means, the previous Books, unlike what you claim.
