Sura 46
Aya 17
17
وَالَّذي قالَ لِوالِدَيهِ أُفٍّ لَكُما أَتَعِدانِني أَن أُخرَجَ وَقَد خَلَتِ القُرونُ مِن قَبلي وَهُما يَستَغيثانِ اللَّهَ وَيلَكَ آمِن إِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَيَقولُ ما هٰذا إِلّا أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ

T. B. Irving

Anyone who says to his parents: "Phooey on you! Do you promise me that I'll come forth [from my grave] while generations have passed on before me?", -and while they both implore God’s help: "It will be too bad for you! Believe: God’s promise will come true, "he merely says: "These are only legends about primitive men."
