    They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.

99. 98

    فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ

    Fa'aradu bihi kaydan faja'alnahumu al‑asfalin

     وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

     Wa qala inni dhahibun ila rabbi sayahdin

     رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

     Rabbi hab li mina as‑salihin

102. 101

     فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ

     Fabashsharnahu bighulamin halim

     So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.

103. 102

     فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

     Falamma balagha ma'ahu as‑sa'ya qala ya bunayya inni ara fi al‑manami anni adhbahuka fanzur madha tara. Qala ya abati if'al ma tu'maru satajiduni in sha'a Allahu mina as‑sabirin

     And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.

104. 103

     فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

     Falamma aslama wa tallahu lil‑jabin

     Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,

105. 104

     وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ

     Wa nadaynahu an ya Ibrahim

     We called unto him: O Abraham!

106. 105

     قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

     Qad saddaqta ar‑ru'ya inna kadhalika najzi al‑muhsinin

     Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.

107. 106

     إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ

     Inna hadha lahuwa al‑bala'u al‑mubin

     Lo! that verily was a clear test.

108. 107

     وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

     Wa fadaynahu bidhibhin 'azim

     Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.

109. 108

     وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرِينَ

     Wa tarakna 'alayhi fi al‑akhirin

     And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):

     سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ

     Salamun 'ala Ibrahim

     Peace be unto Abraham!

111. 110

     Wa bashsharnahu bi'Ishaqa nabiyyan mina as‑salihin

     And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

114. 113

     وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ

     Wa barakna 'alayhi wa 'ala Ishaqa wa min dhurriyyatihima muhsinun wa zalimun linafsihi mubin

     And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

     Wa laqad mananna 'ala Musa wa Harun

     And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,

     Wa najjaynahuma wa qawma huma mina al‑karbi al-'azim

     And saved them and their people from the great distress,

117. 116

     Wa nasarnahum fakanu humu al‑ghalibin

     And helped them so that they became the victors.

     Wa ataynahuma al‑kitaba al‑mustabin

     And We gave them the clear Scripture

119. 118

     Wa hadaynahuma as‑sirata al‑mustaqim

     Wa tarakna 'alayhima fi al‑akhirin

     Wa inna Ilyasa lamina al‑mursalin

     And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),

     Idh qala liqawmihi ala tattaqun

     When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?

     Fakadhdhabuhu fa'innahum lamuhdarun

     But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)

     Illa 'ibada Allahi al‑mukhlasin

     Falawla annahu kana mina al‑musabbihin

     And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

     لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

     Lalabitha fi batnihi ila yawmi yub'athun

     Wa arsalnahu ila mi'ati alfin aw yazidun

     Fa'amanu famatta'nahum ila hin

     And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.

     Am khalaqna al‑mala'ikata inathan wa hum shahidun

     Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqulun

     What aileth you? How judge ye?

156. 155

     Am lakum sultanun mubin

     Or have ye a clear warrant?

     Law anna 'indana dhikran mina al‑awwalin

     Lakunna 'ibada Allahi al‑mukhlasin

     We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.

     فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

     Fakafaru bihi fasawfa ya'lamun

     Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
