What invited them to ascribing partners with Allah when they have no proof supporting it? I did not send any evidence to them in the form of any scripture which they could use as proof for their ascribing partners with Allah, nor do they have any scripture which talks in favour of their idolatry and upholds the validity of the disbelief they are on.
Is it that We have sent down to them any authority that speaks in support of their associating partners with Him?
Or have We revealed to them an authority (a Scripture), which speaks of that which they have been associating with Him?

Or have We sent down authority to them, which points out to them the things to which they pay part-worship?
Or, have We sent down upon them an authority so that it speaks of that which they associate with Him?
