They said: "Dost thou wonder at Allah´s decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, o ye people of the house! for He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!"

Inna ibraheema lahaleemun awwahun muneebun

For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to Allah.
