Al-Ankabut (The Spider)
Verse 24of 69
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱقْتُلُوهُ أَوْ حَرِّقُوهُ فَأَنجَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ﴿٢٤﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
And the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Response of Ibrahim's People -- and how Allah controlled the FireAllah tells us how Ibrahim's people stubbornly and arrogantly disbelieved, and how they resisted the truth with falsehood. After Ibrahim addressed them with his words of clear guidance,إِلاَّ أَن قَالُواْ اقْتُلُوهُ أَوْ حَرِّقُوهُ(except that they said: "Kill him or burn him.") This was because proof had clearly been established against them, so they resorted to using their power and strength.
