Nay but they say ‘Lo! we found our fathers following a certain creed and we are indeed proceeding in their footsteps to be guided’ by them for they used to worship other than God.
- 43:2222
بَلْ قَالُوا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمْ مُهْتَدُونَ
In fact they say: "We found our fathers following a certain way, and are guided by their footprints."
