260.This verse refers to Hazrat Ebrahim's dua in which he had prayed to Allah to blessthe Ummah with the Final Prophet thus the Holy Prophet the prophecy of Hazrat Isa and the glad tidings of Hazrat Ebrahim
261. It must be remembered that the Holy Prophet was born in the class of believers. His forefathers too were all monotheistic believers - as a result of the dua which was made by Hazrat Ebrahim. Allah Almighty had protected his parents and his forefathers from idolatry, infidelity, adultery, etc. For a detailed discussion on this subject refer to Tafseer Naeemi.
262. Hazrat Ebrahim had offered many duas in respect of the Holy Prophet all of which were accepted by instructor.
These included:
Born in Makkah, he should be a Messenger with a Book; besides the Book he should be blessed with wisdom, which is Hadith; the Holy Prophet should be a universal educator from whom all should learn while he himself should be taught by Allah alone; those who sit in his blessed company should be all pure believers not sinners and evil doers. From this discussion it can be seen that those who regard the Companions of the Holy Prophet as sinners and evil doers are most certainly rejecting the above dua of Hazrat Ebrahim,
263. How fortunate is that group who was purified in all respects by such an enlightened that the Holy Ka'bah is a place for the acceptance of dua.
