Or do they say, "He has invented about Allah a lie"? But if Allah willed, He could seal over your heart. And Allah eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
Tafsir
Verse range: 42:24
أم يقولون افترى على الله كذبا فٳن يشٲ الله يختم على قلبك
Or say they: "He has invented a lie against Allah!'' If Allah willed, He could have sealed up your heart. means, `if you had invented any lies against Him, as these ignorant people claim,'
يختم على قلبك
(He could have sealed up your heart). means, `and thus caused you to forget what had already come to you of the Qur'an.' This is like the Ayah:
ولو تقول علينا بعض اﻻقاويل
ﻻأخذنا منه باليمين
ثم لقطعنا منه الوتين
فما منكم من أحد عنه حجزين
And if he had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah), We surely would have seized him by his right hand, and then We certainly would have cut off his life artery, And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him. (69:44-47) which means, `We would have wrought the utmost vengeance upon him, and no one among mankind would have been able to protect him.' And Allah said:
ويمح الله الباطل
And Allah wipes out falsehood,
ويحق الحق بكلماته
and establishes the truth by His Word. means, He establishes it and strengthens it and makes it clear by His Words, i.e., by His evidence and signs.
إنه عليم بذات الصدور
Verily, He knows well what are in the breasts. means, all that is hidden in the hearts of men
