f his father was only
because of a promise he had promised him, but when it had become clear
unto him that he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham)
disowned him. Lo! Abraham was soft of heart, long-suffering.

S: And Ibrahim asking forgiveness for his sire was only owing to a
promise which he had made to him; but when it became clear to him that
he was an enemy of Allah, he declared himself to be clear of him; most
surely Ibrahim was very tender-hearted forbearing.

Y: And Allah will not mislead a people after He hath guided them, in
order that He may make clear to them what to fear (and avoid)- for
Allah hath knowledge of all things.

P: It was never Allah's (part) that He should send a folk astray after
He had guided them until He had made clear unto them what they should

P: Allah hath turned in mercy to the Prophet, and to the Muhajirin and
the Ansar who followed him in the hour of hardship. After the hearts of

straitness after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate,
