4 There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Return.
4 Hakika nyinyi mna mfano mzuri kwenu kwa Ibrahim na wale walio kuwa pamoja naye, walipo waambia watu wao: Hakika sisi tumejitenga nanyi na hayo mnayo yaabudu badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Tunakukataeni; na umekwisha dhihiri uadui na chuki baina yetu na nyinyi mpaka mtakapo muamini Mwenyezi Mungu peke yake. Isipo kuwa kauli ya Ibrahim kumwambia baba yake: Hakika nitakuombea msamaha, wala similiki chochote kwa ajili yako mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Mola wetu Mlezi! Juu yako tumetegemea, na kwako tumeelekea, na kwako ndio marejeo.
