Tafsir
God, exalted be He, says: Or do they, the disbelievers of Mecca, say, 'He has invented it'? Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him has invented Al-Qur'an? Say: 'If I have invented it, then my crime will be upon me, my sin [will be upon me], that is, the punishment for it; and I am innocent of what you commit', of crime, when you attribut invention to me.
"An Interruption to verify the Truthfulness of the Prophet
Allah says;
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ افۡتَرَاهُ
Or they (the pagans of Makkah) say:""He has fabricated it.""
This 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!""
قُلۡ إِنِ افۡتَرَيۡتُهُ فَعَلَيَّ إِجۡرَامِي
.
Say:""If I have fabricated it, upon me be my crimes...""
This means:such sin would be mine alone.
وَأَنَاۡ بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُجۡرَمُونَ
but I am innocent of (all) those crimes which you commit.
This story is not invented, or fabricated falsely. Because he (the Prophet) knows better the punishment of Allah for one who lies on Allah."
