فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ
Fana th ara na th ratan fee a l nnujoom i
Then he cast a glance at the stars,32
  - Mohammad Asad

Obviously an allusion to his early, futile attempts at identifying God with the stars, the sun or the moon (see {6:76-78}).

Then he looked at the stars one time
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He later looked up to the stars 'in contemplation',1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 His people reportedly made decisions based on constellations, so Abraham (ﷺ) pretended to do the same to convince them he was not able to join them at their pagan feast.

And he glanced a glance at the stars
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Then did he cast a glance at the stars.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
