قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?


وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

"While Allah has created you and what you make!"


قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"


فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.


وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"


رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

"My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."


فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.


فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice to Allah), so look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah will), you shall find me of As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)."
