قَالُوا۟ يَٰهُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍۢ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِىٓ ءَالِهَتِنَا عَن قَوْلِكَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

سُورَةُ هُودٍ
English — Sahih International
They said, "O Hud, you have not brought us clear evidence, and we are not ones to leave our gods on your say-so. Nor are we believers in you.
اردو — مودودی
انہوں نے جواب دیا "اے ہودؑ، تو ہمارے پاس کوئی صریح شہادت لے کر نہیں آیا ہے، اور تیرے کہنے سے ہم اپنے معبودوں کو نہیں چھوڑ سکتے، اور تجھ پر ہم ایمان لانے والے نہیں ہیں
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Kaum 'Ad berkata: "Hai Huud, kamu tidak mendatangkan kepada kami suatu bukti yang nyata, dan kami sekali-kali tidak akan meninggalkan sembahan-sembahan kami karena perkataanmu, dan kami sekali-kali tidak akan mempercayai kamu.
Ibn Kathir
The Conversation between (the People of) `Ad and Hud
Allah, the Exalted, informs that they said to their Prophet,
مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَيِّنَةٍ
(No evidence have you brought us.) This means that they claimed that Hud had not brought them any proof or evidence for what he claimed.
وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِكِى ءالِهَتِنَا عَن قَوْلِكَ
(and we shall not leave our gods for your (mere) saying!) They were saying how could his mere statement, "Leave these gods," be sufficient proof for them to leave their idols
وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
(and we are not believers in you.) This means that they did not believe what he was saying was true.
إِن نَّقُولُ إِلاَّ اعْتَرَاكَ بَعْضُ ءَالِهَتِنَا بِسُوءٍ
(All that we say is that some of our gods have seized you with evil.) They were saying, "We think that some of our idols have afflicted you with madness and insanity in your intellect because you are trying to stop them from being worshipped and defame them."
قَالَ إِنِّى أُشْهِدُ اللَّهِ وَاشْهَدُواْ أَنِّى بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَمِن دُونِهِ
(He said: "I call Allah to witness and bear you witness, that I am free from that which you ascribe as partners in worship besides Him (Allah).)11:54-55 Here, he is saying, "Verily, I am innocent of all of the rivals and idols (that you associate with Allah).
فَكِيدُونِى جَمِيعًا
(So plot against me, all of you,) you and your gods if they are true."
ثُمَّ لاَ تُنظِرُونِ
(and give me no respite.) the blinking of an eye." Then, Allah says,
إِنِّى تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ ءاخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآ
(I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature but He has the grasp of its forelock.) Every creature is under His (Allah's) power and His authority. He is the Best Judge, the Most Just, Who does not do any injustice in His ruling. For verily, He is upon the straight path. Verily, this argument contains a far-reaching proof and absolute evidence of the truthfulness of what Hud had come to them with. It also proves the falsehood of them worshipping idols that could not benefit nor harm them. Rather, these idols were inanimate objects that could not hear, see, befriend, or make enmity. The only One Who is worthy of having worship directed solely towards Him is Allah alone, without any partners. He is the One in Whose Hand is the sovereignty and He is in control of all things. There is nothing except that it is under His owner- ship, power and authority. Thus, there is no deity worthy of worship except Him and there is no Lord other than Him.

قالوا: يا هود ما جئتنا بحجة واضحة على صحة ما تدعونا إليه، وما نحن بتاركي آلهتنا التي نعبدها من أجل قولك، وما نحن بمصدِّقين لك فيما تدَّعيه.
