Commentary
Talla – (did put down, had flung down), origin of this word is tallun,
which means “to let fall, to lay prostrate).
Jabiin – (forehead), tal-lahuu
lil-jabiini means “he laid him prostrate in such a way that Ishmael’s
forehead was towards the earth, so that Abraham might not see his face”.
It is commanded: When father and son, both of them (Abraham and
Ishmael (peace be upon them) got ready for obedience of the Command of Allaah
Almighty, then the son said to his father: Dear Father! Cause to lie me down in
such a way at the time of sacrificing me that my face should be towards the
earth, so that lest your love and mercy overcome upon you by looking my face,
and you feel hesitation in sacrificing me, and we become late in performing the
Command of Allaah Almighty.
In short, (Abraham put the knife on the neck of his son Ishmael
(peace be upon them). It has not been mentioned in the verse that what both of
them were feeling at that time, and how much kindness and blessing of Allaah
Almighty was boiling up. Only it has been commanded: We called to Abraham (peace
be upon him) and said: it is sufficient that you have shown your dream as true
and obeyed Our Commandment. We shall reward you with
good retribution due to your obedience and sincerity. We test the doers of good
severely like this, so that they may be enriched with Our favors and blessings
on their firmness.
It is commanded: There is no doubt in it that the
test of Abraham (peace be upon him) was very
hard, but he got success and We redeemed him with a precious and fleshy cattle
which was a kind of sheep with a thick tail.
