Sahih International[2:23]
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful.
1.Allah begins to prove the truth of prophethood after He stated that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him.
2.Allah said to the disbelievers,
(And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'an) to Our servant) meaning, Muhammad ,
(then produce a Surah (chapter)) meaning, similar to what he brought to you. Hence, if you claim that what he was sent with did not come from Allah, then produce something similar to what he has brought to you, using the help of anyone you wish instead of Allah. However, you will not be able to succeed in this quest.
Hadith-I
Ibn `Abbas said that,
(your witnesses) means "Aids.''
Hadith-II
Also, As-Suddi reported that Abu Malik said the Ayah means,
"Your partners, meaning, some other people to help you in that. Meaning then go and seek the help of your deities to support and aid you.''
Hadith-III
Also, Mujahid said that,
(and call your witnesses) means, "People, meaning, wise and eloquent men who will provide the testimony that you seek.''
