— Saheeh International

Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

— Saheeh International

And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."

— Saheeh International

And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed,1 We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.

— Saheeh International

They said, "Have you come to us with truth, or are you of those who jest?"

— Saheeh International

They said, "We heard a young man mention them who is called Abraham."

— Saheeh International

They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people that they may testify."1

— Saheeh International

They said, "Have you done this to our gods, O Abraham?"

— Saheeh International

He said, "Rather, this - the largest of them - did it, so ask them, if they should [be able to] speak."

— Saheeh International

— Saheeh International

— Saheeh International

He said, "Then do you worship instead of Allāh that which does not benefit you at all or harm you?
