Quran 21, Al-Anbiya' (The Prophets)

21:62They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham?

قَالُوا أَأَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا بِآلِهَتِنَا يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ

21:63He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak.

قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كَانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ

21:64Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong-doers.

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

21:65And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not.

ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ يَنْطِقُونَ

21:66He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you?

قَالَ أَفَتَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَضُرُّكُمْ

21:67Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?

أُفٍّ لَكُمْ وَلِمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

21:68They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.

قَالُوا حَرِّقُوهُ وَانْصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ

21:69We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,

قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ
