English Translation
17But there is also the child who rebukes his mother and father when they counsel him, saying: —Shame on you! Do you tell me that I will be raised again, when so many generations have come and gone before me? And when his parents, seeking refuge in Allah, say: "Look, my dear child, please do not ruin yourself; come to faith, for Allah's promise of resurrection will surely come true," he replies: "This is nothing but the legends of the ancients."
