ወይም « ( ጣዖታትን ) ያጋሩት ከእኛ በፊት የነበሩት አባቶቻችን ብቻ ናቸው ፡ ፡ እኛም ከእነሱ በኋላ የኾን ዘሮች ነበርን ፡ ፡ አጥፊዎቹ በሠሩት ታጠፋናለህን » እንዳትሉ ( አስመሰከርናችሁ ) ፡ ፡
Or lest ye should say : ( It is ) only ( that ) our fathers ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were ( their ) seed after them . Wilt Thou destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood did ?
