Commentary on 19:54
يقول تعالى ذكره لنبيه محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم: واذكر يا محمد في الكتاب إسماعيل بن إبراهيم، فاقصص خبره إنه كان لا يكذب وعده، ولا يخلف، ولكنه كان إذا وعد ربه، أو عبدًا من عباده وعدًا وفّى به.
كما حدثنا القاسم، قال: ثنا الحسين، قال: ثني حجاج، عن ابن جريج، قوله ( إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ ) قال: لم يعد ربه عِدة إلا أنجزها.
حدثني يونس، قال: أخبرنا ابن وهب، قال: أخبرني عمرو بن الحارث أن سهل بن عقيل، حدثه أن إسماعيل عليه السلام وعد رجلا مكانا أن يأتيه، فجاء ونسي الرجل، فظلّ به إسماعيل، وبات حتى جاء الرجل من الغد، فقال: ما برحت من هاهنا؟ قال: لا قال: إني نسيت، قال: لم أكن لأبرح حتى تأتي، فبذلك كان صادقا.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنۡ حَمَلۡنَا مَعَ نُوحٖ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ وَمِمَّنۡ هَدَيۡنَا وَٱجۡتَبَيۡنَآۚ إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ خَرُّواْۤ سُجَّدٗاۤ وَبُكِيّٗا۩ ٥٨
Those were the ones upon whom Allāh bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel [i.e., Jacob], and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.
19:59
۞ فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ خَلۡفٌ أَضَاعُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُواْ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَلۡقَوۡنَ غَيًّا ٥٩

Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.

جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عِبَادَهُۥ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَأۡتِيّٗا ٦١

They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.
