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

فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَاذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًا لَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ  

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

قَالُوا مَنْ فَعَلَ هَٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ  

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

قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا فَتًى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ  

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

قَالُوا فَأْتُوا بِهِ عَلَىٰ أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ  

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"  

قَالُوا أَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَٰذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ  

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

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَٰذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كَانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ  

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

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ  

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

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَٰؤُلَاءِ يَنْطِقُونَ  

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

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ  

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

أُفٍّ لَكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
