63. We have made 'this tree' a torment for the workers of iniquity.

Aya: 71

وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

71. Most of the ancients certainly went astray before them,

Aya: 72

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

72. We had certainly sent warners to them (but they denied).

Aya: 73

فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

73. See then how terrible was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not),

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

85. When he said to his father and his people: "What are you worshipping?"

Aya: 86

أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ

86. Is it false gods that you want instead of Allāh?

Aya: 87

فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

87. What is then your thought about 'Allāh' the Lord of all beings?

Aya: 88

فَنَظَرَ نَظۡرَةٗ فِي ٱلنُّجُومِ

88. Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,

Aya: 89

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٞ

89. And said: "I am sick9."

9. It was narrated that Abraham (peace be upon him) did not tell a lie except on three occasions, twice for the sake of Allāh (Exalted and Almighty) when he said: “I am sick,” (when his people were holding a festival in honor of their idols, Abraham excused himself by saying he was sick, and when he said: “(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it.” The (third was) that while Ibraham and Sara (his wife) were going (on a journey), they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant. Someone said to the tyrant: “This man (i.e., Abraham) is accompanied by a very charming lady.” So, he sent for Abraham and asked him about Sara saying: “Who is this lady?” Abraham said: “She is my sister.”
This is not from real lying statements, but from ambiguous statements. The word “he did not lie” has been used metaphorically.
Some say, “saqim” means afflicted with plague. The people of that time were afraid of the plague, so he used this word for them to turn away from him. Some say, it means, a spiritually ill person, from your worshipping the idols other than Allāh.

Aya: 90

فَتَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ مُدۡبِرِينَ

90. So they turned away from him, departing immediately.

Aya: 91

فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

91. He then turned to their idols and said 'mockingly': "Will you not eat 'of the offerings before you'?

Aya: 92

مَا لَكُمۡ لَا تَنطِقُونَ

92. What is the matter with you that you do not speak?"

Aya: 93

فَرَاغَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضَرۡبَۢا بِٱلۡيَمِينِ

93.Then he turned upon them, striking them with (his) right hand.

Aya: 94

فَأَقۡبَلُوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِ يَزِفُّونَ

94. So they (the idol worshippers) advanced towards him, hastening.

Aya: 95

قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ

95. (Abraham) said: "Do you worship what you carve out?

Aya: 96

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

96. While Allāh has created you and what you make."

Aya: 97

قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

97. They said: "Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire."

Aya: 98

فَأَرَادُواْ بِهِۦ كَيۡدٗا فَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡأَسۡفَلِينَ

98. They sought a plot against him but We made them the most debased.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

102. When 'the boy' reached (the age) of working with him, Abraham said: "O my son, I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; look then, what do you think." (Ishmael) said: "O my father, do what you are commanded; if Allāh wills, you will find me patient."

Aya: 103

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

103. When they both (Abraham and Ishmael) submitted (to the Command of Allāh), and Abraham laid him 'Ishmael' down upon his forehead (for sacrifice),

104.We called to him (saying): "Abraham,

105. You have indeed fulfilled the vision." Thus do We reward the good-doers.

Aya: 106

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

106. This was certainly the manifest trial.

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

107. And We ransomed him (Ishmael) with a great sacrifice (with that of a ram).
