سورة Al-A'raf (The Heights ) - الآية 173

Or lest you should say: \"It was only our fathers afortime who took others as partners in worship along with Allah, and we were (merely their) descendants after them; will You then destroy us because of the deeds of men who practised Al-Batil (i.e. polytheism and committing crimes and sins, invoking and worshipping others besides Allah)?\" (Tafsir At-Tabari).
