Verse range: 39:64
Say: "Do you order me to worship other than Allah O you fools!'' The reason for the revelation of this Ayah was narrated by Ibn Abi Hatim and others from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the idolators in their ignorance called the Messenger of Allah to worship their gods, then they would worship his God with him. Then these words were revealed:
قل أفغير الله تٲمروني أعبد أيها الجاهلون
ولقد أوحي إليك وإلى الذين من قبلك لين أشركت ليحبطن عملك ولتكونن من الخاسرين
