حَرِّقُوهُ
فَأَنجَاهُ
اللَّهُ
مِنَ
النَّارِ

So naught was the answer of (Abraham's) people except that they said: "Slay him or burn him." But Allah did save him from the Fire. Verily in this are Signs for people who believe.
— Abdullah Yusufali
But the only answer of his people was that they said, ‘Kill him, or burn him.’ Then Allah delivered him from the fire. There are indeed signs in that for a people who have faith.
