Translation
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Indeed, these idolaters, when it would be said to them in the world, “There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah” so that they could act upon its requirements and leave everything that contradicted it, they would reject answering the call to it and submitting to it out of arrogance from the truth and showing haughtiness to it.
