فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

"Then what do you think about the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists)?"


فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

Then he cast a glance at the stars (to deceive them),


فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

And he said: "Verily, I am sick (with plague. He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan's feast)."


فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).


فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

Then he turned to their aliha (gods) and said: "Will you not eat (of the offering before you)?


مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

"What is the matter with you that you speak not?"


فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.


فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.
