Word by Word

لَهُۥ

To Him

دَعۡوَةُ

(is) supplication

ٱلۡحَقِّۚ

(of) the truth

وَٱلَّذِينَ

And those whom

يَدۡعُونَ

they invoke

مِن

besides Him

دُونِهِۦ

besides Him

لَا

not

يَسۡتَجِيبُونَ

they respond

لَهُم

to them

بِشَيۡءٍ

with a thing

إِلَّا

except

كَبَٰسِطِ

like one who stretches

كَفَّيۡهِ

his hands

إِلَى

towards

ٱلۡمَآءِ

water

لِيَبۡلُغَ

to reach

فَاهُ

his mouth

وَمَا

but not

هُوَ

بِبَٰلِغِهِۦۚ

reaches it

وَمَا

And not

دُعَآءُ

(is) the supplication

ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

(of) the disbelievers

إِلَّا

but

فِي

ضَلَٰلٖ

error

Translation

For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).

Tafsir

A Parable for the Weakness of the False Gods of the Polytheists

Ali bin Abi Talib said that Allah's statement,

لَهُ دَعۡوَةُ الۡحَقِّ

For Him is the Word of Truth.

is in reference to Tawhid, according to Ibn Jarir At-Tabari.

Ibn Abbas, Qatadah, and Malik who narrated it from Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir, said that,

لَهُ دَعۡوَةُ الۡحَقِّ

(For Him is the Word of Truth),

means, ""La ilaha illallah.""

Allah said next,

وَالَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ

And those whom they invoke besides Him...,

meaning, the example of those who worship others besides Allah,

لَا يَسۡتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيۡءٍ

إِلاَّ كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيۡهِ إِلَى الۡمَاء لِيَبۡلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ

answer them no more than one who stretches forth his hand for water to reach his mouth, but it reaches him not;

كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيۡهِ إِلَى الۡمَاء لِيَبۡلُغَ فَاهُ

(like one who stretches forth his hand for water to reach his mouth), Ali bin Abi Talib commented,

""Like he who stretches his hand on the edge of a deep well to reach the water, even though his hands do not reach it; so how can the water reach his mouth!""

Mujahid said about,

كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيۡهِ

(like one who stretches forth his hand),

""Calling the water with his words and pointing at it, but it will never come to him this way.""

The meaning of this Ayah is that he who stretches his hand to water from far away, to either collect some or draw some from far away, will not benefit from the water which will not reach his mouth, where water should be consumed.

Likewise, those idolators who call another deity besides Allah, will never benefit from these deities in this life or the Hereafter, hence Allah's statement,

وَمَا دُعَاء الۡكَافِرِينَ إِلاَّ فِي ضَلَلٍ

and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but misguidance."
