Throwing Ibrahim into the Fire

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q7: Did he deny the throwing of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) into the fire and mention that his enemies had prepared plans for it, but Allah exposed them?
A7: The texts indicate that the enemies of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to plot against him, and the Exalted informed us that they said:
Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."ابْنُوا لَهُ بُنْيَانًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِي الْجَحِيمِ
[As-Saffat 37:97]
, and that they said:
Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."حَرِّقُوهُ وَانْصُرُوا آلِهَتَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ
[Al-Anbya 21:68]
, and His saying, the Exalted:
Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلامًا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ
[Al-Anbya 21:69]
As the authentic, established Sunnah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates the details of this, whoever denies the throwing of Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) into the fire and interprets the texts regarding it as merely plotting and planning for it is a disbeliever who denies the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah, speaks about Allah without knowledge, distorts the verses of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and contradicts what is known of the religion by necessity and upon which the Ummah has reached consensus.
