And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him, (۵۱)

When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion? (۵۲)

They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them. (۵۳)

He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error. (۵۴)

They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester? (۵۵)

He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that. (۵۶)

And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs. (۵۷)

Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it. (۵۸)

They said: Who hath done this to our gods? Surely it must be some evil-doer. (۵۹)

They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham. (۶۰)
