And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Abraham. He was surely a man of truth and a prophet.
٤٢
˹Remember˺ when he said to his father, “O dear father! Why do you worship what can neither hear nor see, nor benefit you at all?
٤٣
O  dear father! I have certainly received some knowledge which you have not received, so follow me and I will guide you to the Straight Path.
٤٤
O  dear father! Do not worship Satan. Surely Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate.
٤٥
O  dear father! I truly fear that you will be touched by a torment from the Most Compassionate, and become Satan’s companion ˹in Hell˺.”
٤٦
He threatened, “How dare you reject my idols, O  Abraham! If you do not desist, I will certainly stone you ˹to death˺. So be gone from me for a long time!”
٤٧
Abraham responded, “Peace be upon you! I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. He has truly been Most Gracious to me.
