Surah 2. Al-Baqara, Ayah 170
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُوا۟ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَآ أَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَنَآ ۗ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ

Why, even if their forefathers did not use their reason at all, and were devoid of all guidance?
- Mohammad Asad
When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah has revealed." They reply: "Nay! We will follow what our forefathers practiced." Well! Even if their forefathers had no sense at all and lacked guidance?
- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
When it is said to them, 'Follow what Allah has revealed,' they reply, 'No! We 'only' follow what we found our forefathers practicing.' 'Would they still do so,' even if their forefathers had 'absolutely' no understanding or guidance?
- Mustafa Khattab
And when it is said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We follow that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers were wholly unintelligent and had no guidance?

When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah hath revealed" they say: "Nay! we shall follow the ways of our fathers." What! even though their fathers were void of wisdom and guidance?
