(150) قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَداءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هذا فَإِنْ شَهِدُوا فَلا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ وَ لا
تَتَّبِعْ أَهْواءَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآياتِنا وَ الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ وَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ
150. " Say: ' Bring your witnesses who bear witness that Allah has forbidden this.' So if they bear witness, do not testify with them, and do not follow the desires of those who deny Our Signs, and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, and they hold (others) equal with their Lord."
Commentary :
In this verse, in order to make the falsity of their claims more clear, and also that the proper principals of judgement be observed, the Qur'an invites them to bring their reputable witnesses, if they have any, proving that Allah has forbidden those animals and tilths that they claim are prohibited. So, addressing the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.), the holy verse says :
" Say: ' Bring your witnesses who bear witness that Allah has forbidden this.' ..."
After that, it adds the words to imply that if they can not find any reputable witnesses, whom they certainly may not find, and they suffice only to their own testification, Prophet (p.b.u.h.) should never follow them to testify what they claim.
The verse says :
"... So if they bear witness, do not testify with them, ..."
The contexts indicate that these false ordinances of theirs have originated from some low desires and blindly imitations, because they have no evidence and proof from the divine prophets nor from the heavenly Books upon the prohibition of these things.
That is why, in the continuation of the verse, it says :
"... and do not follow the desires of those who deny Our Signs, and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, and they hold (others) equal with their Lord."
That is, idolatry, denial of the Hereafter and Resurretion, superstitions, and their sensualities are some alive witnesses that these ordinances of theirs are also artificial, and their claim about prohibition of these things from the side of Allah is groundless and worthless.
