Qaloo aanta faAAalta hatha bialihatina ya ibraheemu

They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?"

Qala bal faAAalahu kabeeruhum hatha faisaloohum in kanoo yantiqoona

He said: "Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them, if they can speak intelligently!"

Thumma nukisoo AAala ruoosihim laqad AAalimta ma haolai yantiqoona

Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"

Qala afataAAbudoona min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAukum shayan wala yadurrukum

(Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?

أُفّٖ لَّكُمۡ وَلِمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

"Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah! Have ye no sense?"..

Qulna ya naru koonee bardan wasalaman AAala ibraheema

We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"

Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most!

وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَلُوطًا إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلَّتِي بَٰرَكۡنَا فِيهَا لِلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

Wanajjaynahu walootan ila alardi allatee barakna feeha lilAAalameena
