Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (and afterward we inspired thee (o muhammad)) we commanded you ((saying): follow the religion of abraham) adhere to the religion of abraham, (as one by nature upright) surrendered to allah. (he was not of the idolaters) he did not follow the religion of the idolaters.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : then we revealed to you, o muhammad (s), [saying]: ‘follow the creed, the religion, of abraham, a hanīf, and he was not of the idolaters’: this [remark] is repeated in order to refute to the claim of the jews and christians that they follow his religion.
