Had He Fabricated
وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ ٤٤
And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And if he had made up about Us some sayings.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means: “If the Messenger had tried to invent words in Our name on his own, without Our saying them.”
Reflect
Don’t say anything in Allah’s name that you don’t know.
