Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Can any of your associate-gods guide to the truth?” Say, “˹Only˺ Allah guides to the truth.” Who then is more worthy to be followed: the One Who guides to the truth or those who cannot find the way unless guided? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?
Explanation
These readings provide complementary meanings. It also possible that the last reading is another shortened form of yahtadī, hence the readings all mean the same [al-Mahdawi].
