Surah Al-Ahqaf (46:8)

اَمۡ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ افۡتَـرٰٮهُؕ قُلۡ اِنِ افۡتَـرَيۡتُهٗ فَلَا تَمۡلِكُوۡنَ لِىۡ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيـــًٔا ؕ هُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيۡضُوۡنَ فِيۡهِؕ كَفٰى بِهٖ شَهِيۡدًاۢ بَيۡنِىۡ وَبَيۡنَكُمۡ ؕ وَهُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الرَّحِيۡمُ‏ ۝

Am yaqooloona iftarahu qul iniiftaraytuhu fala tamlikoona lee mina Allahi shay-anhuwa aAAlamu bima tufeedoona feehi kafa bihishaheedan baynee wabaynakum wahuwa alghafooru arraheem

Or do they say, "He has invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, you will not possess for me the power of protection from Allāh at all. He is most knowing of that in which you are involved. Sufficient is He as Witness between me and you, and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
