Ayah 35
Surah An-Nahl
And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?﴿35﴾
Translation
And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him."

Simplified Tafsir
وقال المشركون: لو شاء الله أن نعبده وحده ما عبدنا أحدًا غيره، لا نحن ولا آباؤنا مِن قبلنا، ولا حَرَّمَنا شيئًا لم يحرمه، بمثل هذا الاحتجاج الباطل احتج الكفار السابقون، وهم كاذبون؛ فإن الله أمرهم ونهاهم ومكَّنهم من القيام بما كلَّفهم به، وجعل لهم قوة ومشيئة تصدر عنها أفعالهم، فاحتجاجهم بالقضاء والقدر من أبطل الباطل من بعد إنذار الرسل لهم، فليس على الرسل المنذِرين لهم إلا التبليغ الواضح لما كُلِّفوا به.
