Surah Ash-Shu'ara — Ayah 74 (26:74)
قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ ٧٤
English translation (Saheeh International)
They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."
Brief commentary
They said, They do not hear us when we supplicate to them, nor do they benefit us when we feed them, nor harm us if we disobey them. However, the reality is that we found our forefathers doing that, so we follow them.
