﴿ ثُمَّ نُكِسُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رُءُوسِهِمْ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يَنطِقُونَ ﴾

“But then they relapsed into their former way of thinking and said: “Thou knowest very well that these [idols] cannot speak!””

(And they were utterly confounded) and went back to their initial statement, (and they said) Nimrod said: (Well thou knowest) O Abraham (that these speak not) that the idols do not speak, and this is why you broke them.
