Abu Sa'id Ahmad ibn Ya'qub al-Thaqafi narrated to us — al-Hasan ibn al-Muthanna al-Anbari narrated to us — Abu Hudhayfa narrated to us — Shibl ibn Abbad narrated to us — from Ibn Abi Najih — from Mujahid — from Hadrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be well pleased with them both) regarding the saying of Allah, Exalted is He: {And indeed, among his followers was Ibrahim} [al-Saffat 83]. He said: From the followers of Nuh, Ibrahim was upon his way and practice. He reached the age of striving with him -- he grew until his striving reached the striving of Ibrahim in deeds. When they both submitted to what they were commanded and he put him down upon his forehead, he placed his face to the ground and said: Do not slaughter me while you are looking at me, lest you have mercy on me and not carry it out. Tie my hands to my neck, then place my face on the ground. When he put his hand to slaughter him, the knife did not cut until it was called out: {O Ibrahim, you have fulfilled the vision} [al-Saffat 105]. So he held back his hand and raised him. His saying: {And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice} [al-Saffat 107] -- with a great, accepted ram. And Ibn Abbas maintained that the one to be sacrificed was Isma'il. This hadith is authentic according to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim, though they did not narrate it.
