وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّبِعُوا مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ قَالُواْ بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَآ أَلْفَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَآءَنَآ أَوَلَوْ كَانَ آبَاؤُهُمْ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يَهْتَدُونَ
١٧٠
-Al-Baqarah ( البقرة )

Kashani Tafsir

And when it is said to them, 'Follow what God has revealed', in terms of taking into consideration the limits of moderation and fairness in all things in the manner prescribed by the Law, they say, 'No; but we follow what we found our fathers doing', in the way of reprehensible acts of immoderation that belong to the age of ignorance, in [blind] imitation of them. What?, will you follow them? Even if their fathers do not understand anything, of religion or knowledge, and they were not guided?, to right deeds because of their ignorance.
