قَالُوا۟ They said qālū O yāayyuhā Aziz l-ʿazīzu Indeed inna he has lahu a father aban old shaykhan [great] kabīran so take fakhudh one of us aḥadanā (in) his place makānahu Indeed, we innā [we] see you narāka of mina the good-doers l-muḥ'sinīna
They said, "O ʿAzeez, indeed he has a father [who is] an old man, so take one of us in place of him. Indeed, we see you as a doer of good."
قَالَ He said qāla Allah forbid maʿādha Allah forbid l-lahi that an we take nakhudha except illā (one) who man we found wajadnā our possession matāʿanā with him ʿindahu Indeed, we innā then idhan surely (would be) wrongdoers laẓālimūna
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allāh [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust."
