وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱئْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

And [so,] whenever Our messages are conveyed to them in all their clarity, their only argument is this:27 "Bring forth our forefathers [as witnesses], if what you claim is true!"28
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "their argument is nothing but that they say".

Cf. 44:36 and the corresponding note [19].

When Our clear revelations are recited to them, they have no other argument but to say: "Bring our forefathers back if what you say is true!"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: 'Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!'
  - Mustafa Khattab
And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers then, if ye are truthful.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them their argument is nothing but this: they say "Bring (back) our forefathers if what ye say is true!" 4764
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xliv. 36. It is no argument to say, "If there is a future life, bring back our forefathers and let us see them here and now!" It is not for a man to raise the dead when and where he pleases. It is for Allah to command. And His promise is about the general Resurrection for the Day of Judgment. In His hands are the keys of life and death.
