فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ
Then, they (the idolaters) came to him rushing.
قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ
He said, “Do you worship what is carved by yourselves,
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 structure, and throw him into the blazing fire.”
فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ
So, they intended to bring harm to him, but We made them the lowest (by frustrating their plan).
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ
And he said, “I am going to my Lord. He will show me the way.
رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
O my Lord, bless me with a righteous son.”
فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ
So, We gave him the good news 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
Thereafter, when he (the boy) reached an age in which he could work with him, he (Ibrāhīm) said, “O my little son, I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so consider, what is your opinion?” He said, “O my dear father, do what you have been ordered to do. You will find me, inshā’allah , (if Allah wills) one of those who endure patiently.”
