The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And We called out to him, "O Ibrahim, you have truly verified the vision..."))

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah the Exalted said:
(104) We called to him, "O Abraham, (105) You have fulfilled the vision. وناديناه أن يا إبراهيم قد صدقت الرؤيا
[As-Saffat 37:104-105]

Among the benefits of this verse and what follows it is the affirmation of speech for Allah Mighty and Majestic, by His saying
(104) We called to him, "O Abraham, (105) You have fulfilled the vision. وناديناه أن يا إبراهيم قد صدقت الرؤيا
[As-Saffat 37:104-105]
, and that it is with a voice, by His saying
And We called out to him وناديناه
, and with letters, by His saying
The vision has come true قد صدقت الرؤيا
, "Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good," to the end of it.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is that the verse testifies to what the authentic hadith indicated from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
And know that victory is with patience, and that relief is with distress واعلم أن النصر مع الصبر وأن الفرج مع الكرب
So the most severe distress that befell Ibrahim regarding this matter was what happened to him when he laid his son on his forehead to slaughter him. What do we imagine of this state? It is indeed a great distress. And in this great distress, relief came from Allah Mighty and Majestic:
(104) We called to him, "O Abraham, (105) You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. ناديناه أن يا إبراهيم قد صدقت الرؤيا إنا كذلك نجزي المحسنين
[As-Saffat 37:104-105]
So relief comes with distress, and the more severe the distress becomes and the more a person turns to his Lord, the faster the relief comes to him.
And among the benefits of this verse is that it contains a witness to the authentic hadith that if a person intends an act... and strives for it, its reward is recorded for him, by His saying
(104) We called to him, "O Abraham, (105) You have fulfilled the vision. وناديناه أن يا إبراهيم قد صدقت الرؤيا
[As-Saffat 37:104-105]
, even though he did not slaughter him, but he did what he was commanded to do, and nothing remained but to carry it out. And what is the hadith that this verse testifies to? First, what is established in the authentic collections in the story of the man who said:
I wish I had like what so-and-so has, so that I could do in it what so-and-so did ليت لي مثل ما لفلان فأعمل فيه ما عمل فلان
, and he was spending his wealth in good. And likewise the story of the two men who fight, both of whom enter the Fire, and one says, "O Messenger of Allah, this is the killer and this is the one who was killed." He said:
The killed one was eager to kill his opponent. لأنه كان حريصا على قتل صاحبه
Sahih al-Bukhari 6875
So if one who does a bad deed and does not complete it is rewarded for it, then one who does a good deed and does not complete it is even more deserving of being rewarded for it.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is that worship is what Allah has commanded, even if it is a sin in another context. If killing a son is among the greatest of major sins, then when Allah commands it, it becomes obedience and among the best of obediences, because carrying it out is among the most difficult things for the soul. So if a person carries it out despite the strength of the impulse to prevent him, that is better and more complete. Is there a parallel to this? The answer is yes, it has a parallel. Prostration to other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), but when Allah commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam, prostration to him became obedience. So the conclusion is that worship is what Allah has commanded, even if its type may be a sin in another place.
And among the benefits of the noble verse is acting upon a dream if it is a good one. But is this in every dream? And the answer is.
