وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكيدَنَّ أَصنامَكُم بَعدَ أَن تُوَلّوا مُدبِرينَ

And [I swear] by Allah, I will surely plan against your idols after you have turned and gone away."

فَجَعَلَهُم جُذاذًا إِلّا كَبيرًا لَهُم لَعَلَّهُم إِلَيهِ يَرجِعونَ

So he made them into fragments, except a large one among them, that they might return to it [and question].

قالوا مَن فَعَلَ هـٰذا بِآلِهَتِنا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظّالِمينَ

They said, "Who has done this to our gods? Indeed, he is of the wrongdoers."

قالوا سَمِعنا فَتًى يَذكُرُهُم يُقالُ لَهُ إِبراهيمُ

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

قالوا فَأتوا بِهِ عَلىٰ أَعيُنِ النّاسِ لَعَلَّهُم يَشهَدونَ

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."

قالَ بَل فَعَلَهُ كَبيرُهُم هـٰذا فَاسأَلوهُم إِن كانوا يَنطِقونَ

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

فَرَجَعوا إِلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم فَقالوا إِنَّكُم أَنتُمُ الظّالِمونَ

So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."

ثُمَّ نُكِسوا عَلىٰ رُءوسِهِم لَقَد عَلِمتَ ما هـٰؤُلاءِ يَنطِقونَ

Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

قالَ أَفَتَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُكُم شَيئًا وَلا يَضُرُّكُم

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?

أُفٍّ لَكُم وَلِما تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?"
