Text Uthmani:

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعۡبُدُ مَا لَا يَسۡمَعُ وَلَا يُبۡصِرُ وَلَا يُغۡنِي عَنكَ شَيۡـٔٗا ٤٢

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran:

˹Remember˺ when he said to his father, “O dear father! Why do you worship what can neither hear nor see, nor benefit you at all?

Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali & Muhammad Muhsin Khan:

When he said to his father: "O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything?
