And Ibrahim's asking for the forgiveness of his father was only in pursuance of a promise which he had made unto him. Then, when it became manifest unto him that he was an enemy of Allah, he declared himself quit of him. Verily Ibrahim was long-suffering, forbearing.
و آمرزش‌خواهى ابراهيم براى پدرش- عموى مشركش كه به جاى پدر سرپرست او بود- نبود مگر از براى وعده‌اى كه به او داده بود پس چون براى او روشن شد كه وى دشمن خداست از او بيزار شد، همانا ابراهيم بسيار آه‌كننده- از ترس خدا- و بردبار بود.
