Qarib: 'No, ' he replied. 'It was their great one amongst them that did it. Ask them, if they are able to speak. '
Sarwar: He replied, "I think the biggest among them has broken the smaller ones. Ask them if they are able to speak".
Shakir: He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak
Pickthall: He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak.
Yusufali: He said: "Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them, if they can speak intelligently!"

Qarib: So they returned one to another saying, 'Surely, it is you who are the harmdoers! '

Pickthall: Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong-doers.
Yusufali: So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!"

Qarib: But then they reversed their minds: 'You know they do not speak. '
Sarwar: With their heads cast down they said, "Abraham, you know that idols do not speak. How then can you ask such a question?"
Shakir: Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly you know that they do not speak
Pickthall: And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not.
Yusufali: Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"

Qarib: He said: 'Would you then worship that, instead of Allah, which can neither help nor harm you?
Sarwar: He said, "Do you, instead of God, worship things that can neither harm nor benefit you?"
Shakir: He said: What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?
Pickthall: He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you?
Yusufali: (Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?

Qarib: Shame on you and on that you worship other than Allah! Have you no understanding? '
Sarwar: Woe to you for what you worship instead of God. Have you no understanding?"
Shakir: Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! do you not then understand?
Pickthall: Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?
Yusufali: "Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah! Have ye no sense?"..

Qarib: They said: 'Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do anything! '
Sarwar: They said, "Burn him to ashes if you want to help your gods".
Shakir: They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do (anything)
Pickthall: They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.
Yusufali: They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!"

Qarib: 'O Fire, ' We said, 'be coolness and safety for Abraham. '
Sarwar: We said to the fire, "Be cool and peaceful (with Abraham)".
Shakir: We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;
Pickthall: We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,
Yusufali: We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"

Qarib: They sought to outwit him, but We made them the worst of losers.
Sarwar: They had devised an evil plan (against Abraham), but We turned it into failure."
Shakir: And they desired a war on him, but We made them the greatest losers
Pickthall: And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.
Yusufali: Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most!

Pickthall: And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.

Qarib: We gave him, in excess, Isaac, and Jacob (for a grandson); and We made each righteous
