They said: "O Salih (Saleh)! You have been among us as a figure of good hope (and we wished for you to be our chief), till this [new thing which you have brought; that we leave our gods and worship your God (Allah) Alone]! Do you (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers have worshipped? But we are really in grave doubt as to that which you invite us to (monotheism)."
Wakasema: Ewe Saleh! Hakika kabla ya haya ulikuwa unatarajiwa kheri kwetu. Je, unatukataza tusiwaabudu waliyo kuwa wakiwaabudu baba zetu? Na hakika sisi tuna shaka na wasiwasi kwa hayo unayo tuitia.
