Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
And the disbelievers will say to their skins, “Why did you testify against us, by stating the things we used to do in the world?” Their skins will say in reply to them, “The one who grants everything the ability to speak, granted us the ability to speak. He is the one who created you initially when you were in the world, and to Him you will return in the Hereafter to give account and be requited.”
