Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
An Interruption to verify the Truthfulness of the ProphetThis is presented in the middle of the story to affirm the story itself. It is as if Allah, the Exalted, is saying to Muhammad , "Or do these obstinate disbelievers say that he fabricated this and invented it himself" قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى(Say: "If I have fabricated it, upon me be my crimes...") This means: such sin would be mine alone.
