Answer:
And Ibrahim saw in the vision, meaning that Allah commanded him to slaughter Isma'il. This was a vision he saw, and the visions of the prophets are true, so he wanted to carry out the vision.
indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice youإِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ
[As-Saffat 37:102]
The visions of the prophets are a true revelation.
He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded.قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ
[As-Saffat 37:102]
Look at the son as well.
You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ
[As-Saffat 37:102]
And We called out to him, meaning: O Ibrahim, you have fulfilled the vision. The requirement was met; you fulfilled the vision. That is enough; the requirement was met, and nothing remained but the slaughter. The slaughter would have been of no benefit. Yes.
