Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33988 — Reports on what Allah gave Ibrahim

Ubayd bin Umayr said: Musa said: "O my Lord, You have mentioned Ibrahim, Ishaq and Ya'qub; how did You grant them this excellence?" Allah said: "Whatever was used to try to turn Ibrahim away from Me, he chose Me. Ishaq sacrificed himself for Me, so he is all the more ready to sacrifice other things. And in whatever way I tested Ya'qub, his good opinion of Me only increased."
