📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 101

"So We gave him good news of a prudent [102] son."

✅ [102] The Glad Tidings of Ismail (Peace be Upon Him)

Glad tidings were given about Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him), who would be born from Hazrat Hajirah (Hagar).

Announcing the birth of a son before his actual birth is not only from the knowledge of the unseen, but in fact, belongs to the Five Branches of Divine Knowledge.

This shows that the pious and beloved servants of Allah Almighty can indeed be granted knowledge related to these five divine domains, including knowledge of future events by Allah's permission.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah As-Saffat verse 101 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 99 which provides the complete commentary from verse 99 through 113.

(37:101) (In response to this prayer) We gave him the good news of a prudent boy;[57]

Ala-Maududi

(37:101) (In response to this prayer) We gave him the good news of a prudent boy;[57]


57. From this one should not understand that this good news was given to him immediately following his prayer. In the Quran itself, at another place, this saying of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) has been related: All praise be to Allah who has given me sons like Ishmael and Isaac in my old age. (Surah Ibrahim, Ayat 39). This proves that there was an interval of many years between the prayer and this good news. The Bible says that at the birth of the Prophet Ishmael, the Prophet Abraham was 86 years old (Gen. 16: 16) and at the birth of the Prophet Isaac a hundred years. (Gen. 21: 5).

(101) So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
