فَجَعَلَهُمْ جُذَٰذًا إِلَّا كَبِيرًۭا لَّهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ

Faja'alahum juzaazan illaa kabeeral lahum la'allahum ilaihi yarji'oon

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

قَالُوا۟ مَن فَعَلَ هَـٰذَا بِـَٔالِهَتِنَآ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Qaaloo man fa'ala haazaa bi aalihatinaaa innahoo laminaz zaalimeen

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

قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا فَتًۭى يَذْكُرُهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُۥٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ

Qaaloo sami'naa fatany yazkuruhum yuqaalu lahooo Ibraaheem

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

قَالُوا۟ فَأْتُوا۟ بِهِۦ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْيُنِ ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ

Qaaloo faatoo bihee 'alaaa a'yunin naasi la'allahum yash hadoon

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

قَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَنتَ فَعَلْتَ هَـٰذَا بِـَٔالِهَتِنَا يَـٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

Qaalooo 'a-anta fa'alta haazaa bi aalihatinaa yaaa Ibraaheem

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

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُۥ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَـٰذَا فَسْـَٔلُوهُمْ إِن كَانُوا۟ يَنطِقُونَ

Qaala bal fa'alahoo kabeeruhum haazaa fas'aloohum in kaanoo yantiqoon

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

فَرَجَعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

Faraja'ooo ilaaa anfusihim faqaalooo innakum antumuz zaalimoon

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

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ يَنطِقُونَ

Summa nukisoo 'alaa ru'oosihim laqad 'alimta maa haaa'ulaaa'i yantiqoon

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

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكُمْ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ

Qaala afata'budoona min doonil laahi maa laa yanfa'ukum shai'anw wa laa yadurrukum

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

أُفٍّۢ لَّكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

Uffil lakum wa limaa ta'budoona min doonil laah; afalaa ta'qiloon

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