He said, “He cited this as evidence that the one to be sacrificed was someone else”. The method of argumentation is that this good tidings occurred after the story of the sacrifice and its completion. His statement, [As-Saffat 37:112], is a state of anticipated condition, meaning his prophethood is anticipated to exist. His statement, , means by his birth and his existence as a prophet; this is a state describing Isaac. Is this state a state of anticipated condition or a state of actual reality? The author indicated that it is a state of anticipated condition. However, since it is an actual reality that will inevitably occur, the state of the good tidings was described with it. Otherwise, at the time of the good tidings, he was not a prophet, as he was a child, but he would become a prophet. Since this was a confirmed matter, it was treated as if it were a state of actual reality and an existing fact. His statement, , refers to those who fulfill the right of Allah and the right of His servants. means for Ibrahim, by multiplying his offspring. his son, his offspring, by making most of the prophets descend from his lineage. Indeed, may Allah bless Ibrahim, for He placed prophethood and the Scripture in his offspring. All the prophets after Ibrahim are from his lineage. And also for Isaac, because all the prophets of the Children of Israel are from the lineage of Isaac. There is no prophet from the lineage of Ismail except one, and he is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no prophet from the offspring of Ismail except one, and he is Muhammad.
He said, “[As-Saffat 37:113] a believer a disbeliever manifest in his disbelief”. “From their offspring” means from the offspring of Ibrahim and Isaac. “A doer of good” means one who fulfills the right of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and the right of His servants. And among them is one who wrongs himself by committing sins and transgressing against the truth and against creation. “Manifest” means manifest in his wrongdoing, as the author said. Accordingly, it is from the verb *abana* meaning to make something necessary or evident. It is also permissible that it be from *abana* meaning to transgress, in which case the meaning is one who displays his wrongdoing. The reality is that the offspring of Ismail and Isaac are characterized by this description: wrongdoers and doers of good. Therefore, when Ibrahim said, when Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to them, [Al-Baqarah 2:124], there was an indication that there would be among the offspring of Ibrahim one who is a wrongdoer and does not deserve to be an imam in the religion of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
