258. (O Beloved Prophet) Did you not see the one who argued [665] with Ibrahim about his Lord, merely because Allah had granted him kingship?

Ibrahim said: "Indeed, Allah brings the sun from the east [667]; so bring it from the west." Then the disbeliever was confounded [668]. And Allah does not guide the unjust people.
