Qur'an 11:35
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ ۖ قُلْ إِنِ ٱفْتَرَيْتُهُۥ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ
“Or do they say [about Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], "He invented it"? Say, "If I have invented it, then upon me is [the consequence of] my crime; but I am innocent of what [crimes] you commit."”
Hud 11:35 · Saheeh International

KANSKE säger någon: "Han har själv författat [allt detta]." Säg [Muhammad]: "Om jag har författat det faller denna synd på mig. Men jag har ingenting att skaffa med den synd som ni begår."

An Interruption to verify the Truthfulness of the Prophet
This is presented in the middle of the story to affirm the story itself. It is as if Allah, the Exalted, is saying to Muhammad , "Or do these obstinate disbelievers say that he fabricated this and invented it himself"
قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِى
(Say: "If I have fabricated it, upon me be my crimes...") This means: such sin would be mine alone.
وَأَنَاْ بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرَمُونَ
(but I am innocent of (all) those crimes which you commit.) This story is not invented, or fabricated falsely. Because he (the Prophet) knows better the punishment of Allah for one who lies on Allah.
