Surah 28 Al-Qasas — Ayah 75
وَنَزَعْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ شَهِيدًۭا فَقُلْنَا هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ فَعَلِمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ
Ва аз ҳар миллате шоҳиде биёварем ва гӯем: «Далели худ биёваред. Он гоҳ бидонанд, ки ҳақ аз они Оллоҳ аст ва он бутон, ки ба дурӯғ худо мехонданд нобуд шаванд».
wanazaʿnā min kulli ummatin shahīdan faqul'nā hātū bur'hānakum faʿalimū anna l-ḥaqa lillahi waḍalla ʿanhum mā kānū yaftarūna

Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
Rebuking the Idolators
This is another call by way of rebuke for those who worshipped other gods besides Allah. The Lord, may He be exalted, will call to them before all the witnesses, and will say:
(Where are My (so-called) partners, whom you used to assert) meaning, in this world.
(And We shall take out from every nation a witness,) Mujahid said, "This means a Messenger."
(and We shall say: "Bring your proof.") meaning, `of the truth of your claim that Allah had any partners.'
(Then they shall know that the truth is with Allah,) meaning, that there is no god besides Him. Then they will not speak and they will not be able to find any answer.
(and the lies which they invented will disappear from them.) they will vanish and will be of no benefit to them.
