Commentary on 37:83
ولَمّا كانَ لِإبْراهِيمَ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ - مِنَ التَّجَرُّدِ عَنِ النُّعُوتِ البَشَرِيَّةِ؛ والعَلائِقِ النَّفْسانِيَّةِ إلى الأحْوالِ المَلَكِيَّةِ؛ ما لَمْ يَكُنْ لِمَن بَيْنُهُما مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ؛ مِنَ المُصارَحَةِ بِالمُعارَضَةِ لِقَوْمِهِ؛ والإبْلاغِ فِيها بِكَسْرِ الأوْثانِ؛ وتَوْهِيَةِ مَذْهَبِ الكُفْرانِ؛ والِانْفِرادِ عَمّا سِوى اللَّهِ في غَمَراتِ النِّيرانِ؛ حَتّى عَنِ الدُّعاءِ بِقَلْبٍ؛ أوْ لِسانِ فَناءٍ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الأكْوانِ؛ ثُمَّ الهِجْرَةِ عَنِ الأوْطانِ؛ ثُمَّ بِالخُرُوجِ عَنِ الأحْبابِ؛ والإخْوانِ؛ بِوَضْعِ ابْنِهِ بِكْرِهِ؛ وسُرِّيَّتِهِ؛ في ذَلِكَ المَكانِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِهِ إنْسٌ ولا جانٌّ؛ ثُمَّ بِمُعالَجَةِ ذَبْحِهِ؛ بِأتَمِّ قُوَّةٍ؛ وأقْوى جَنانٍ؛ ثُمَّ بِبِناءِ البَيْتِ ذَوِي الأرْكانِ؛ قِبْلَةً لِلْمُتَجَرِّدِينَ مِن أهْلِ الإيمانِ في كُلِّ أوانٍ؛ عَمّا سِوى المَلِكِ الدَّيّانِ؛ يُصَفُّونَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ (p-٢٥٢)صَلاةٍ مِثْلَ صُفُوفِ المَلائِكَةِ الكِرامِ؛ وكانَ مُوافِقًا لِنُوحٍ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ -؛ مَعَ ما تَقَدَّمَ في البَرَكَةِ في نَسْلِهِ؛ بِحَيْثُ إنَّهم قَرِيبُ نِصْفِ أهْلِ الأرْضِ الآنَ؛ وكانَ أشْهَرُ أمْرِهِ في النّارِ؛ الَّتِي هي ضِدُّ أشْهَرِ أمْرِ نُوحٍ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ - في الماءِ؛ تَلاهُ بِهِ؛ فَقالَ - مُؤَكِّدًا؛ إظْهارًا أيْضًا لِما لَهُ مِنَ الكَرامَةِ؛ والمَنزِلَةِ العالِيَةِ في الإمامَةِ؛ المُقْتَضِيَةِ لِلنَّشاطِ في الثَّناءِ عَلَيْهِ؛ المُنَبِّهَةِ عَلى ما يَنْبَغِي مِن إتْمامِ العَزْمِ في مُتابَعَتِهِ؛ وتَكْذِيبًا لِمَنِ ادَّعى أنَّهُ ابْتَدَعَ؛ وخالَفَ مَن كانَ قَبْلَهُ -: ﴿وإنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِ﴾؛ أيْ: الَّذِينَ خالَطَ سِرُّهُ سِرَّهُمْ؛ ووافَقَ أمْرُهُ أمْرَهُمْ؛ في التَّصَلُّبِ في الدِّينِ؛ والمُصابَرَةِ لِلْمُفْسِدِينَ؛ ﴿لإبْراهِيمَ﴾؛

37:86
أَئِفۡكًا ءَالِهَةٗ دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ ٨٦
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?

37:91
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمۡ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ ٩١

37:95
قَالَ أَتَعۡبُدُونَ مَا تَنۡحِتُونَ ٩٥
He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve,

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٩٦
While Allāh created you and that which you do?"
37:97
قَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ لَهُۥ بُنۡيَٰنٗا فَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي ٱلۡجَحِيمِ ٩٧
They said, "Construct for him a structure [i.e., furnace] and throw him into the burning fire."
37:98

And they intended for him a plan [i.e., harm], but We made them the most debased.
37:99
وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ ٩٩
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me.

رَبِّ هَبۡ لِي مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١٠٠
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."
37:101
فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٖ ١٠١
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
37:102
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعۡيَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ إِنِّيٓ أَرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡمَنَامِ أَنِّيٓ أَذۡبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرۡ مَاذَا تَرَىٰۚ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفۡعَلۡ مَا تُؤۡمَرُۖ سَتَجِدُنِيٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢
And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion,1 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."
