Surah As-Saffat Verses 101–150

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,[1296] he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allāh wills, of the steadfast."

And when they had both submitted[1297] and he put him down upon his forehead,

We called to him, "O Abraham,

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,[1298]

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

"Peace upon Abraham."

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.[1299]

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,

And We supported them so it was they who overcame.

And We gave them the explicit Scripture [i.e., the Torah],

And We guided them on the straight path.

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations:

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants.

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers,

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allāh?

Do you call upon Baʿl[1300] and leave the best of creators -

Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],

Except the chosen servants of Allāh.

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations:

"Peace upon Elias."[1301]

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants.

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers.

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all,

Except an old woman [i.e., his wife] among those who remained [with the evildoers].

Then We destroyed the others.

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

And at night. Then will you not use reason?

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers.

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.

And he drew lots[1302] and was among the losers.

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy.[1303]

And had he not been of those who exalt Allāh,

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected.[1304]

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine.[1305]

And We sent him[1306] to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time.

So inquire of them, [O Muḥammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?[1307]

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
