The Glad Tidings of Sayyiduna Isma'il:
He came to the region of Syria, leaving behind your home and relatives. Despite being of considerable age, you still had no children, so you prayed to Allah to grant you a righteous son who would bring joy to your household. Allah gave you the glad tidings of a son whose prominent quality was forbearance, and in this quality, there is a subtle indication towards the incident of Sayyiduna Isma'il’s sacrifice and his forbearance at that time.
