மேலும், "அல்லாஹ் இறக்கி வைத்த இ(வ்வேதத்)தைப் பின்பற்றுங்கள்" என்று அவர்களிடம் கூறப்பட்டால், அவர்கள் "அப்படியல்ல! எங்களுடைய மூதாதையர்கள் எந்த வழியில் (நடக்கக்) கண்டோமோ, அந்த வழியையே நாங்களும் பின்பற்றுகிறோம்" என்று கூறுகிறார்கள்;. என்ன! அவர்களுடைய மூதாதையர்கள், எதையும் விளங்காதவர்களாகவும், நேர்வழிபெறாதவர்களாகவும் இருந்தால் கூடவா?

තවද "අල්ලාහ් පහළ කළ දෑ නුඹලා අනුගමනය කරනු" යැයි ඔවුනට පවසනු ලැබූ විට, "නැත! අපගේ මුතුන් මිත්තන් කවර දෙයක් මත සිටියෝ ද එය අපි අනුගමනය කරන්නෙමු" යැයි ඔවුහු පවසති. ඔවුන්ගේ මුතුන් මිත්තන් කිසිවක් වටහා නො ගෙන යහමඟ නො ලැබූ තත්වයක වූවත් එසේ ම ද?
