quran:19:42 –

˹Mention˺ when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?  

When he said to his father, Āzar, ‘O my father! (the ˹final˺ tā’ here ˹of abati˺ has replaced the ˹possessive˺ yā’ of ˹genitive˺ annexation ˹sc. of yā abī˺; the two, however, are never used together) — he ˹Abraham’s father˺ used to worship idols. Why do you worship that which neither hears nor sees, and is of no avail to you, suffices you ˹not˺, in any way? whether in ˹terms of˺ benefit or harm.
القرآن:١٩:٤٢ –

إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لَا يَسْمَعُ وَلَا يُبْصِرُ وَلَا يُغْنِي عَنْكَ شَيْئًا  

{إذ قال لأبيه} آزر {يا أبت} التاء عوض عن ياء الإضافة ولا يجمع بينهما وكان يعبد الأصنام {لمَ تعبد مالا يسمع ولا يبصر ولا يغني عنك} لا يكفيك {شيئا} من نفع أو ضر.
