Mention of Ibrahim the Friend of Allah and his sons (peace be upon them)

Abu al-Tufayl narrates: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Your people say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and that this is a sunnah." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "They have spoken correctly. When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded with the rites of Hajj, Satan appeared before him at the place of sa'i and raced Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) outstripped him. Then Sayyiduna Jibril (peace be upon him) took Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to Jamrat al-Aqabah, and Satan appeared before him there. Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) threw seven pebbles at him, and he went away. Then he appeared before him at the middle Jamrah, and he threw seven pebbles at him." The narrator says: "There he laid Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon him) down (in order to sacrifice him). Sayyiduna Isma'il (peace be upon him) had a white shirt on his body. He said: 'O my dear father, I have no garment other than this in which you could shroud me, so take it off me so that you may shroud me in it.' Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had begun to take it off when a call came from behind: 'O Ibrahim, you have fulfilled the vision.' Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) turned around, and there was a white, horned ram with beautiful eyes." (Al-Haythami says:) I say: After this the narrator mentioned the complete hadith, which has already passed in the chapter on Hajj.
Imam Ahmad recorded it; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abu Asim al-Ghanawi, who is thiqah (trustworthy). Before this, a route from this Companion has passed, recorded by Imam Ahmad and al-Tabarani, in which it is mentioned that the one who was to be sacrificed was Sayyiduna Ishaq (peace be upon him). The chain of that report contains Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, who had become confused (ikhtilat) in his memory.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed Allah Almighty took Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) as His Khalil (intimate friend)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Yahya al-Himmani, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say to us: "On the Day of Resurrection all the prophets will be such that every two of them will be each other's Khalil (intimate friends), apart from the rest." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "On that day, the Khalil of Allah Almighty among them will be Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains narrators whom I do not know.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was taken up on the ascension (Mi'raj), he saw a man committing a sin with a woman. Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) supplicated against him, and he was destroyed. Then he saw another man committing a sin, and he supplicated against him. So Allah Almighty revealed to him: 'This is My servant, and he is to return to Me. There are three possibilities: either he will repent and I will accept his repentance; or he will seek My forgiveness and I will forgive him; or from his loins will come people who will worship Me. O Ibrahim, do you not know that among My names is that I am al-Sabur (that is, the Most Forbearing)?'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Ali bin Abi Ali al-Lahbi, who is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "In Paradise there is a palace made of a pearl, in which there is no crack and no weakness. Allah Almighty has prepared it as a hospitality for His Khalil, Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and al-Bazzar recorded something similar; the narrators of both are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The prophets were shown to me, and I resemble Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat from his teacher Miqdam bin Dawud, who is da'if (weak).

Sayyidah Aishah al-Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The first of creation to be clothed will be Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)." The narrator says: That is, on the Day of Resurrection (he will be clothed).
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Layth bin Abi Sulaym, who is a mudallis.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was thrown into the fire, he said: 'O Allah, indeed You are One in the heaven, and I am one individual on the earth who worships You.'"
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Asim bin Umar bin Hafs, whom Ibn Hibban declared thiqah (trustworthy), saying: he errs and narrates contrary to others; the majority declared him da'if (weak).

Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Sayyiduna Dawud said: 'I ask You by the right of my forefathers (those forefathers being) Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), Sayyiduna Ishaq (peace be upon him) and Sayyiduna Ya'qub (peace be upon him).' The Lord said: 'As for Ibrahim, he was thrown into the fire, and he showed patience for My sake, and you have not had to face that trial. As for Ishaq, he offered himself to be sacrificed, and he showed patience for My sake, and you have not had to face that. As for Ya'qub, Yusuf was taken far from him; that is a trial which has not befallen you.'"
Al-Bazzar recorded it as a report of Abu Sa'id from Ali bin Zayd; I do not know him (Abu Sa'id), and the narrator Ali bin Zayd is da'if (weak), though he has also been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): He (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Who is the most honourable of people?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him), the son of Sayyiduna Ya'qub (peace be upon him), who was the son of Sayyiduna Ishaq, Dhabih Allah (the one offered for sacrifice to Allah) (peace be upon him)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; the narrator Baqiyyah is a mudallis, and the narrator Abu Ubaydah did not hear from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him).

Abu al-Ahwas narrates: Asma' bin Kharijah, boasting before a man, said: "I am the son of honourable elders." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "That was Sayyiduna Yusuf, son of Ya'qub, son of Ishaq Dhabih Allah, son of Ibrahim Khalil Allah."
Al-Tabarani recorded it as a mawquf report with two chains; the narrators of one of the two are thiqat (trustworthy), except that I do not know al-Tabarani's teachers.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who is the chief (sayyid)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Yusuf, son of Sayyiduna Ya'qub, son of Sayyiduna Ishaq, son of Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon them)." The people asked: "Is there then no chief in your Ummah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, there is! A man who has been given lawful wealth and granted generosity, who keeps the poor close, and against whom people have few complaints."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Nafi' Abu Hurmuz, who is matruk (abandoned).
