The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the stronger position regarding the sacrificed one? Is it Isma'il or Ishaq?
The Shaykh:
The stronger position is that it is Isma'il. The stronger position is that it is Isma'il, because when Allah mentioned the story of the sacrifice in the chapter, in the chapter, in the chapter al-Saffat, when He mentioned it, He said[As-Saffat 37:112], "We gave him good news of Ishaq," after He had mentioned the entire story of the sacrifice, He said after it [As-Saffat 37:112], which indicates that the sacrificed one is Isma'il. Also, Isma'il is the elder, because Allah mentioned him first [Ibrahim 14:39]. Allah mentioned Isma'il before Ishaq, which indicates that he is older, older than him. So the correct story is that the sacrificed one is Isma'il (peace be upon him), yes.
