۞ ما اشهدتهم خلق السماوات والارض ولا خلق انفسهم وما كنت متخذ المضلين عضدا ٥١
۞ مَّآ أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ ٱلْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًۭا ٥١

I never called them to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth or ˹even˺ their own creation, nor would I take the misleaders as helpers.

مَا أَشْهَدْتُّهُمْ
mā ashhadtuhum*
“I did not make them witnesses”
مَا أَشْهَدْنَاهُمْ
mā ashhadnāhum
“We did not make them witnesses”

Explanation

These readings convey the same meaning, as God sometimes speaks with the singular pronoun (as in the first reading) and sometimes with the majestic plural (as in the second). These accord with the same skeletal form. *NB: this is pronounced with merged letters: ashhattuhum.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
