So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.

Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"

So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),

We called out to him "O Abraham!

"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

For this was obviously a trial-

And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:

And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:

"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"

Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

For he was one of our believing Servants.

And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous.

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.

Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,

And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;

And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);

And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;

And We guided them to the Straight Way.

And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:

"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
