And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers."

Rabbi İbrahim'i bir takım emirlerle denemiş, o da onları yerine getirmişti. Allah, "seni insanlara önder kılacağım" demişti. O "soyumdan da" deyince, "zalimler benim ahdime erişemez" buyurmuştu.
