And the request of forgiveness of Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became apparent to him [i.e., Abraham] that he [i.e., the father] was an enemy to Allāh, he disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient.

இப்றாஹீம் (நபி) தம் தந்தைக்காக மன்னிப்புக் கோரியதெல்லாம், அவர் தம் தந்தைக்குச் செய்திருந்த ஒரு வாக்குறுதிக்காகவேயன்றி வேறிலலை மெய்யாகவே, அவர் (தந்தை) அல்லாஹ்வுக்கு விரோதி என்பது தெளிவாகியதும் அதிலிருந்து அவர் விலகிக் கொண்டார் - நிச்சயமாக இப்ராஹீம் பொறுமையுடையவராகவும் இரக்கமுள்ளவராகவும் இருந்தார்.

イブラーヒームが自分の父のために,御赦しを求めて祈ったのは,只かれ(父)と約束があったためである。それでかれ(父)がアッラーの敵であることが明白になった時,かれ(父)と の関係を断った。本当にイブラーヒームは,柔和で辛抱強い人物であった。

易卜拉欣曾为他父亲求饶,只为有约在先;他既知道他的父亲是真主的仇敌,就与他脱离了关系。易卜拉欣确是慈悲的,确是容忍的。
