21.61 . They said : Then bring him ( hither ) before the people ' s eyes that they may testify .

21.62 . They said : Is it thou who hast done this to our gods , O Abraham?

21.63 . He said : But this , their chief hath done it . So question them , if they can speak .

21.64 . Then gathered they apart and said : Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong doers .

21.65 . And they were utterly confounded , and they said : Well thou knowest that these speak not .

21.66 . He said : Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all , nor harm you?

21.67 . Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?

21.68 . They cried : Burn him and stand by your gods , if ye will be doing .

21.69 . We said : O fire , be coolness and peace for Abraham .

21.70 . And they wished to set a snare for him , but We made them the greater losers .

21.71 . And We rescued him and Lot ( and brought them ) to the land which We have blessed for ( all ) peoples .

21.72 . And We bestowed upon him Isaac , and Jacob as a grandson . Each of them We made righteous .

21.73 . And We made them chiefs who guide by Our command , and We inspired in them the doing of good deeds and the right establishment of worship and the giving of alms and they were worshippers of Us ( alone ) .

21.74 . And unto Lot We gave judgment and knowledge , and We delivered him from the community that did abominations . Lo! they were folk of evil , lewd .

21.75 . And We brought him in unto Our mercy . Lo! he was of the righteous .

21.76 . And Noah , when he cried of old , We heard his prayer and saved him and his household from the great affliction .

21.77 . And delivered him from the people who denied Our revelations . Lo! they were folk of evil , therefor did We drown them all .

21.78 . And David and Solomon , when they gave judgment concerning the field , when people ' s sheep had strayed and browsed therein by night ; and We were witnesses to their judgment .

21.79 . And We made Solomon to understand ( the case ) ; and unto each of them We gave judgment and knowledge . And We subdued the hills and the birds to hymn ( His ) praise along with David . We were the doers ( thereof ) .

21.80 . And We taught him the art of making garments ( of mail ) to protect you in your daring . Are ye then thankful?
