إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
70. When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"
قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ
71. They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
72. He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?
أَوْ يَنْفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
73. Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"
قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
75. He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,
الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
78. Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.
وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ
79. And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
80. And when I am ill, it is He who cures me
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ
83. [And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.
وَاجْعَلْ لِي لِسَانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ
84. And grant me a reputation of honor among later generations.
