Ibrahim pbuh longed for a son for a long time and finally when Allah granted him a son, he had a Divine order to slaughter his son. He had so much faith, so he took his son and told him about his dream. Ismael pbuh told him: ’oh Father do as you have been ordered and I will be patient to this’. So he lay him down and just as he was about to slay him, he heard a voice from Heaven telling him that this was a trial for him. And he had passed the trial. Allah sent down a sacrifice (it is not mentioned in the Quran what the animal was) to slaughter instead.
Ismael Pbuh had much faith in Allah, so he complied immediately and urged his father to comply to carry out the command.
(Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ˹must˺ sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.” Then when they submitted ˹to Allah’s Will˺, and Abraham laid him on his forehead ˹for sacrifice˺, We called out to him, “O Abraham! You have already fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers. That was truly a revealing test. And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice,) As-Saffat 37:102-107
كان إبراهيم عليه السلام يريد إبنا لمدة طويلة، فلما جاءه إبن و كبر ، جاءه الأمر الإلهي أن يذبح ابنه. كان إيمانه كبيرا فأخذ ابنه و قص عليه المنام. إسماعيل عليه السلام قال له: يا أبت. افعل ما أمرت به و أنا سأكون صابرا. فوضعه أبوه مستلقيا و لما أراد أن بذبحه جاءه صوت من السماء يقول له أن هذا كان امتحان له و قد نجح فيه. و أنزل الله تعالى ذبحا (لم يحدد في القرآن الكريم نوع الحيوان الذي فدى به ) ليذبحه و يفديه
كان إسماعيل كان على درجة كبيرة من الإيمان أيضا فلم يناقش أباه و إنما شجعه على تنفيذ أمر الله
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّـهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ. فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ ﴿١٠٣﴾ وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَن يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﴿١٠٤﴾ قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٠٥﴾ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿١٠٦﴾ وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
