فَراغَ إِلىٰ آلِهَتِهِم فَقالَ أَلا تَأكُلونَ

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat?

ما لَكُم لا تَنطِقونَ

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"

فَراغَ عَلَيهِم ضَربًا بِاليَمينِ

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand.

فَأَقبَلوا إِلَيهِ يَزِفّونَ

Then the people came toward him, hastening.

قالَ أَتَعبُدونَ ما تَنحِتونَ

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

قالُوا ابنوا لَهُ بُنيانًا فَأَلقوهُ فِي الجَحيمِ

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."

فَأَرادوا بِهِ كَيدًا فَجَعَلناهُمُ الأَسفَلينَ

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased.

وَقالَ إِنّي ذاهِبٌ إِلىٰ رَبّي سَيَهدينِ

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَب لي مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."

فَبَشَّرناهُ بِغُلامٍ حَليمٍ

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
