Anbiya :
66 He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you?
67 Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense?
68 They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.
69 We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,
Saffat :
94 And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
95 He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
96 When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
97 They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
98 And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
