Word by word

أَلَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَآ ۖ أَمْ لَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۗ قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ كِيدُونِ فَلَا تُنظِرُونِ

Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم ذكر تعالى أنها عبيد مثل عابديها ، أي : مخلوقات مثلهم ، بل الأناسي أكمل منها ، لأنها تسمع وتبصر وتبطش ، وتلك لا تفعل شيئا من ذلك .وقوله : ( قل ادعوا شركاءكم ثم كيدون فلا تنظرون ) أي : استنصروا بها علي ، فلا تؤخروني طرفة عين ، واجهدوا جهدكم !
