وَإِذَا And when قِيلَ it is said لَهُمُ to them ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ Follow مَآ what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah قَالُوا۟ they said بَلْ Nay نَتَّبِعُ we follow مَآ what أَلْفَيْنَا we found عَلَيْهِ [on it] ءَابَآءَنَآ ۗ our forefathers (following) أَوَلَوْ Even though كَانَ [were] ءَابَآؤُهُمْ their forefathers لَا (did) not يَعْقِلُونَ understand شَيْـًۭٔا anything وَلَا and not يَهْتَدُونَ were they guided ١٧٠
And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allāh has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?
