قَالُوْا فَأْتُوْا بِهٖ عَلٰٓى اَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُوْنَ ( الأنبياء: ٦١ )
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."
قَالُوْٓا ءَاَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هٰذَا بِاٰلِهَتِنَا يٰٓاِبْرٰهِيْمُ ۗ ( الأنبياء: ٦٢ )
They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"
قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهٗ كَبِيْرُهُمْ هٰذَا فَسْـَٔلُوْهُمْ اِنْ كَانُوْا يَنْطِقُوْنَ ( الأنبياء: ٦٣ )
He said, "Rather, this – the largest of them – did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."
فَرَجَعُوْٓا اِلٰٓى اَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّكُمْ اَنْتُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ ۙ ( الأنبياء: ٦٤ )
So they returned to [blaming] themselves and said [to each other], "Indeed, you are the wrongdoers."
ثُمَّ نُكِسُوْا عَلٰى رُءُوْسِهِمْۚ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ يَنْطِقُوْنَ ( الأنبياء: ٦٥ )
Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"
قَالَ اَفَتَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَّلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ ۗ ( الأنبياء: ٦٦ )
He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allah that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?
اُفٍّ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۗاَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ ( الأنبياء: ٦٧ )
Uff to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then will you not use reason?"
قَالُوْا حَرِّقُوْهُ وَانْصُرُوْٓا اٰلِهَتَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِيْنَ ( الأنبياء: ٦٨ )
They said, "Burn him and support your gods – if you are to act."
قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُوْنِيْ بَرْدًا وَّسَلٰمًا عَلٰٓى اِبْرٰهِيْمَ ۙ ( الأنبياء: ٦٩ )
We [i.e., Allah] said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."
وَاَرَادُوْا بِهٖ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنٰهُمُ الْاَخْسَرِيْنَ ۚ ( الأنبياء: ٧٠ )
And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the greatest losers.
