37. Safat · verses 100–112

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena

"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"

فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ

Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin

So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tumaru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina alssabireena

Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"

فَلَمَّآ أَسۡلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلۡجَبِينِ

Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni

So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),

وَنَٰدَيۡنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبۡرَٰهِيمُ

Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu

We called out to him "O Abraham!

قَدۡ صَدَّقۡتَ ٱلرُّءۡيَآۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena

"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلۡبَلَٰٓؤُاْ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu

For this was obviously a trial-

وَفَدَيۡنَٰهُ بِذِبۡحٍ عَظِيمٖ

Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin

And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:

وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Salamun AAala ibraheema

"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"

كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Kathalika najzee almuhsineena

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Innahu min AAibadina almumineena

For he was one of our believing Servants.

وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena

And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.
