Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : allah then denied their claim, saying: (abraham was not a jew) following the religion of the jews, (nor yet a christian) following the religion of the christians; (but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to allah)) sincerely, (and he was not of the idolaters) who adhered to their religions.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : god, in order to dissociate abraham [from their claims], said: no; abraham in truth was not a jew, neither a christian, but he was a muslim, professing the oneness of god, and a hanīf, who inclined away from all other religions towards the upright one; and he was never of the idolaters.
