وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖ نَّحۡنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ فَهَلۡ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ
35And the idolaters said: “If Allah had so willed, neither we nor our forefathers would have worshipped anything except Him, nor would we have made anything unlawful without the Command of Allah.” (It means Allah likes what we are doing. This stupid argument is nothing new). Thus did those before them. (These arguments did not harm the messengers). So are the messengers not supposed to convey only the message clearly?
