Quote:
{11:74} And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he began to argue with Us concerning the people of Lot.
I suggest,
{11:74} And when the fright had left Abraham and the good tidings had reached him, he [now] argues with Us concerning the people of Lot.Quote:
{11:75} Indeed, Abraham was forbearing, grieving and [frequently] returning [to God].
Pickthall's translation of this verse is superb. I'll essentially copy it,
{11:75} Indeed, Abraham surely is forbearing, imploring, penitent.
