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 طلب آمرزش ابراهيم براى پدرش جز براى وعده‌اى كه به او داده بود، نبود. و[لى‌] هنگامى كه براى او روشن شد كه وى دشمن خداست، از او بيزارى جست. راستى، ابراهيم، دلسوزى بردبار بود.
