قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهٗ ﳓ كَبِیْرُهُمْ هٰذَا فَسْــٴَـلُوْهُمْ اِنْ كَانُوْا یَنْطِقُوْنَ(63)

He said, “Rather, the large one among them must have done it, so ask them if they speak.”[1]

Commentary

[1]

This statement of Prophet Ibrāhīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم seemingly contradicts what occurred, but in reality, this is not the case. One reason for this is that Prophet Ibrahim عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم was demonstrating the helplessness of the idols to the disbelievers. Thus, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم told them that they should ask the largest idol, for it had the axe on its shoulder and must have broken the rest of them; this was to make them feel some shame and compel them to ponder.
