Tafsir jalalayn

So which of your Lord's favours, graces, will you deny? (tukadhdhibn is mentioned thirty one times; the interrogative is meant [to be understood] as an affirmative, judging by what al-Hkim [al-Naysbr] reported [by way of an isnd] from Jbir [b. `Abd Allh al-Ansr], who said, `The Messenger of God (s) was reciting surt al-Rahmn to us, and when he completed it, he said, "What is wrong with you that you have been silent [throughout]? Verily the jinn are more responsive than you. Not once did I recite this verse to them -- So which of your Lord's favours will you deny? -- but that they said, `Not one of your graces, our Lord, do we deny, for [all] praise belongs to You' ").

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both deny?

meaning, "O mankind and Jinn, which of the favors that Allah has given to you do you deny"

Mujahid and others said this, and it is apparent when one reads what comes after it. Meaning the favors that are obvious to you while you are surrounded by them, you cannot deny or reject them. So we say, just as the believers among the Jinns said, "O Allah! None of Your favors do we deny. All praise is due to You."

Ibn Abbas used to say, "Nay, our Lord!" meaning, "None of Your favors do we deny.
