ويوم ينادي الله هؤلاء المشركين، فيقول لهم: أين شركائي الذين كنتم تزعمون في الدنيا أنهم شركائي؟
Source: King Fahd Complex via spa5k/tafsir_api · reference
أي: ويوم ينادي اللّه المشركين به، العادلين به غيره، الذين يزعمون أن له شركاء، يستحقون أن يعبدوا، وينفعون ويضرون، فإذا كان يوم القيامة، أراد اللّه أن يظهر جراءتهم وكذبهم في زعمهم وتكذيبهم لأنفسهم فـ { يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ } أي: بزعهم، لا بنفس الأمر، كما قال: { وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ شُرَكَاءَ إِنْ يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وإن هم إلا يخرصون }

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:
أَيْنَ شُرَكَآئِىَ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
(Where are My (so-called) partners, whom you used to assert) meaning, in this world.
وَنَزَعْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيداً
(And We shall take out from every nation a witness,) Mujahid said, "This means a Messenger."
فَقُلْنَا هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ
(and We shall say: "Bring your proof.") meaning, `of the truth of your claim that Allah had any partners.'
فَعَلِمُواْ أَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِلَّهِ
(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.
وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ
(and the lies which they invented will disappear from them.) they will vanish and will be of no benefit to them.

And mention the day when He will call to them and say ‘Where now are My associates those whom you used to claim?’ — this is mentioned again in order to expound upon it

Commentary
A question that will be asked from the infidels on the Day of Judgment to repeat what they had replied to the prophets on their invitation to truth was mentioned in an earlier verse. Now in this verse it is stated that the prophets would testify about the reply that was given by the infidels.
