Among the benefits of these noble verses, in His saying
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me. وقال إني ذاهب إلى ربي سيهدين
[As-Saffat 37:99]
, is the praise of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) for his declaration of migration from his land, which includes a challenge to his people and a disregard for them, because they did not detain him or prevent him from migrating. This is part of the wisdom of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that the challenge is manifested in such a way that it does not come to pass.
Among their benefits is the trust of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) in his Lord, where he said
Indeed, I am going to my Lord; He will guide me. إني ذاهب إلى ربي سيهدين

Among their benefits is the indication of sincerity in deeds, due to his saying
Indeed, I am going to my Lord إني ذاهب إلى ربي
. This contains the sincerity of intention for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and this is the righteous intention: that a person intends, through his deed, to reach the pleasure of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Among their benefits is also the softening of a person's heart toward his Lord in supplication, by using expressions that indicate tenderness, compassion, and need for the Lord, due to his saying
to my Lord إلى ربي
. He attributed lordship to himself as a form of gentleness and tenderness toward Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Among the benefits of the noble verse is that it is obligatory for a person not to rely on himself, but rather to rely on his Lord (Mighty and Majestic), due to his saying here
He will guide me سيهدين

It is derived from the phrase what we also indicated as a benefit, which is the trust of Ibrahim in Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Among the benefits of these verses, in His saying
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous." رب هب لي من الصالحين
[As-Saffat 37:100]
, is that everyone, no matter how high his status among humans, is in need of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and in need of one who helps him, due to his saying
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous." رب هب لي من الصالحين
[As-Saffat 37:100]
. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) estimated that there is an omitted word in the verse, which is "a child," and it seems he specified this request to a child due to the saying of the Exalted
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy. فبشرناه بغلام حليم
[As-Saffat 37:101]
. However, the verse allows for the possibility that the omitted word is not "child," and that the object was omitted to convey generality, meaning: grant me from the righteous those who will be a helper to me, whether from children or others. Because the people among whom he was were not righteous, he asked Allah to grant him from the righteous those who would help and assist him. So the response from Allah was that He gave him good news of one who would help him from his own lineage, due to His saying
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy. فبشرناه بغلام حليم
[As-Saffat 37:101]
. Thus, this aspect we mentioned is more general than the aspect mentioned by the author, who specified it to a child based on the evidence of His saying
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy. فبشرناه بغلام حليم
[As-Saffat 37:101]
. And this aspect we mentioned is that we say it is general: he asked Allah to grant him from the righteous those who would be a helper to him, and the object was omitted to convey generality.
Among the benefits of the verse is the encouragement to seek help from the righteous, due to his saying
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous." رب هب لي من الصالحين
[As-Saffat 37:100]
. And it is recommended for a person to have his companions from among the righteous, because the righteous companion helps you in good and warns you of evil. And as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) compared the righteous companion, the righteous friend, to the carrier of musk
would either offer you free of charge or you would buy it from him or you would. smell its pleasant odour إما أن يحذيك وإما أن يبيعك وإما أن تجد منه رائحة طيبة
Sahih Muslim 2628

Among the benefits of the noble verse, in His saying
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy. فبشرناه بغلام حليم
[As-Saffat 37:101]

The student: ...

The Shaykh : Did you attend?
The student: I attended, but I do not know the language.

The Shaykh : What is the meaning of this?
The student: It indicates immediacy and sequence.

The Shaykh : And others.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : And others. Yes, immediacy, not sequence, and others.
The student: Immediacy.

The Shaykh : This is immediacy.
The student: Causality.

The Shaykh : Causality. In any case, because of his supplication, We hastened to give him good news, so We gave him good news.
It follows and branches from this benefit, which is the response of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to what he supplicated for, is the truthfulness of His promise, due to His saying
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." وقال ربكم ادعوني أستجب لكم
[Ghafir 40:60]
, and His power to fulfill what He promised. Because if He were incapable, He would not give what was supplicated for, because He would be incapable. But Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is capable of all things.
Among the benefits of this verse is the praise of Isma'il by describing him with patience.
Among their benefits is the good news given to a person regarding the child born to him, especially if it is a male. Because Allah expressed the news of Ibrahim that a child would be born to him as "good news." So the scholars derived from this that it is prescribed to give good news to one who has a child, especially if it is a male.
And is it derived from the noble verse the affirmation of the speech of Allah? If the good news were from Allah, that would be derived from it. But "We gave him good news" was on the tongue of the angels, who gave him the good news. So Allah knows best.
