One day, Abraham woke up and asked his wife Hajar to get her son and prepare for a long journey. In a few days Abraham started out with his wife Hajar and their son Ishmael. The child was still nursing and not yet weaned. Abraham walked through cultivated land, desert, and mountains until he reached the desert of the Arabian Peninsula and came to an uncultivated valley having no fruit, no trees, no food, no water. The valley had no sign of life. After Abraham had helped his wife and child to dismount, he left them with a small amount of food and water which was hardly enough for 2 days. He turned around and walked away. He wife hurried after him asking: "Where are you going Abrahim, leaving us in this barren valley?" Abraham did not answer her, but continued walking. She repeated what she had said, but he remained silent. Finally she understood that he was not acting on his own initiative. she realized that Allah had commanded him to do this. She asked him : "Did Allah command you to do so?" He replied: "Yes." Then his great wife said: "We are not going to be lost, since Allah Who has commanded you is with us." Abraham invoked Almighty Allah thus:

"Ya Ubangijinmu! Na zaunar da wasu daga cikin zuriyata a cikin wani kwari marar noma, kusa da Gidanka mai tsarki (Ka'aba a Makka); domin su, ya Ubangijinmu, su tsayar da salla yadda ya kamata.

Hakika kai ka san abin da muke boyewa da abin da muke bayyanawa. Babu abin da yake ɓoye ga Allah a cikin ƙasa ko a cikin sama."

"O Our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley with no cultivation, by Your Sacred House (the Ka'ba at Mecca); in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayers perfectly (Iqamat as salat) so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and O Allah provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. O our Lord! Certainly, You know what we conceal and what we reveal. Nothing on the earth or in the heavens is hidden from Allah." (Ch 14:37-38)

Ibn Abbas narrated: "The first woman to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah (by dragging it). Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael, while she was nursing him, to a place near the Kaba, under a tree, at the spot of Zamzam, at the highest point of the mosque. In those days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water, so he made them sit there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates and a small water skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Ishmael's mother followed him, saying:

Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him to a place near the Kaba under a tree on the spot of ZamZam at the highest place in the mosque. During those days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water so he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates and a small water skin containing some water and set out homeward. Ishmael's mother followed him saying:

"O Abraham! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything to enjoy?" she repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her. Then she asked him : "Has Allah ordered you to do so?" He said:

"Yes." She then said: "Then He will not neglect us," and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards. On reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Kaba and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers:

"Ya Ubangijinmu! Na sanya wasu daga cikin zuriyata su zauna a wani kwari marar noma, kusa da Gidanka mai tsarki (Ka'aba a Makka), domin, Ya Ubangijinmu, su tsaida salla yadda ya kamata. Don haka ka sanya zukatan wasu mutane su karkata zuwa gare su da soyayya, kuma ka azurta su da 'ya'yan itatuwa, domin su yi godiya." (Surah Ibrahim 14:37)

"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (Kaba at Mecca) in order, O our Lord that they may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and O Allah provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks." (Ch 14:37)

The prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "This is the source of the tradition of the Sa'y (rituals of the hajj, pilgrimage) the going of people between them (As-Safa and Al-Marwa). When she reached Al Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said: "O whoever you maybe! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?" And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zam zam, digging the earth with his heel (or his wing) till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and started filling her water skin with water with her hands and the water was flowing out water she had scooped some of it." The Prophet (pbuh) added: "May Allah bestow mercy on Ishmael's mother! Had she let the zam-zam flow without trying to control it, or had she not scooped from that water to fill her water skin, Zam zam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth."

Annabi ﷺ ya ci gaba da cewa: "Sai ta sha ruwa ta shayar da ɗanta.

The Prophet (pbuh) continued: "Then she drank water and suckled her child. The angel said to her: "Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allah never neglects His people." The House (Kaba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. "She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child as they (the Jurhum people) were coming through the way of Kada. they landed in the lower part of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it. they said: "this bird must be flying around water, though we know that there is no water in this valley." They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water and returned to inform them of the water. So they all came towards the water. Ishmael's mother was sitting near the water. They asked her: "Do you allow us to stay with you?" She replied: "Yes, but you will have no right to possess the water." They agreed to that. Ishmael's mother was pleased with the whole situation, as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people, so they settled there, and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child (Ishmael) grew up and learned Arabic from them and (his virtues) caused them to love and admire him as he grew up and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them."

The Prophet ﷺ continued: "After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order to see his family that he had left before, but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael's wife about him, she replied: "He has gone in search of livelihood." Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition, and she replied, "We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution," complaining to him. He said: "When your husband returns, convey my salutations to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house)." When Ishmael came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife: "Has anyone visited you?" she replied, "Yes, an old man of such and such description came and asked me about you and I informed him and he asked about our state of living and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty." On that Ishmael said: "Did he advise you anything?" She said: "Yes he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate." Ishmael said: "It was my father and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family." So, Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from among them (Jurhum).

"Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said: 'he has gone in sof our livelihood.' Abraham asked her; 'how are you getting on?' asking her about their sustenance and living. she replied: 'we are prosperous and well off (we have everything in abundance).' then she thanked Allah. Abraham said: 'What kind of food do you eat?' she said:

"Nama." Ya ce: "Me kuke sha?" Ta ce: "Ruwa." Ya ce: "Ya Allah! Ka albarkaci namansu da ruwansu."

'meat.' he said: 'what do you drink?' she said: 'water.' he said: 'O Allah! bless their meat and water."" The Prophet (pbuh) added: "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain he would have also invoked Allah to bless it. If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected unless he lives in Mecca." The Prophet (pbuh) continued: "Then Abraham said to Ishmael's wife: 'When your husband comes give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael came back he asked his wife, 'did anyone call no you?' she replied: 'yes, a good looking old man came to me,' so she praised him and added: 'He asked about you and I informed him that we were in a good condition.' Ishmael asked her:' did he give you any piece of advice?' she said; 'yes, he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate.' on that Ishmael said: 'It was my father, and you are the threshold of the gate. He has ordered me to keep you with me.' Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them afterwards. He saw Ishmael under a tree near Zam Zam, sharpening his arrows. When he saw Abraham, he rose up to welcome him (and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father). Abraham said: 'O Ishmael! Allah has give me an order.' Ishmael said:

Ibn Abbas narrated a slightly different version: "When Abraham had differences with his wife (because of her jealousy of Hajar, Ishmael's mother), he took Ishmael and his mother and went away. They had a water skin with them containing some water. Ishmael's mother used to drink water from the water skin so that her milk would increase for her child. When Abraham reached Mecca, he made her sit under a tree and afterwards returned home. Ishmael's mother followed him and when they reached Kada, she called him from behind: 'O Abraham! To whom are you leaving us?' He replied: '(I am leaving you) to Allah's care.' she said: 'I am satisfied to be with Allah.' She returned to her place and started drinking water from the water skin and her milk increased for her child." Ibn Abbas narrated a slightly different version: "Lokacin da Ibrahim ya samu sabani da matarsa (saboda kishinta ga Hajar, uwar Isma'il), ya dauki Isma'il da uwarsa ya tafi.

Ibn Abbas continued narrating: "Ishmael's mother started drinking from the water, and her milk increased for her child. Afterwards some people of the tribe of Hurhum saw some birds while passing through the bottom of the valley and that astonished them. They said: "birds can only be found at a place where there is water." They sent a messenger who searched the place and found the water and returned to inform them about it. Then they all went to her and said: "O Ishmael's mother! Will you allow us to be with you (or dwell with you)?" Then they stayed there.

"Later on her boy reached the age of puberty and married a lady from them. Then an idea occurred to Abraham, which he disclosed to his wife (sarah). 'I want to call on my dependants I left at Mecca.' When he went there he greeted Ishmael's wife and said: 'where is Ishmael?' She replied: 'He has gone out hunting.' Abraham said to her: 'When he comes, tell him to change the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael came she told him the same and whereupon Ishmael said to her: 'you are the threshold so go to your family (you are divorced).' "Again Abraham thought of visiting his dependents whom he had left at Mecca, and told his wife (Sarah) of his intentions. Abraham came to Ishmael's house and asked: 'Where is Ishmael?' Ishmael's wife replied: 'He has gone out hunting,' and added: 'will you stay for some time and have something to eat and drink?' Abraham said: 'what is your food and what is your drink?' she replied: 'our food is meat and our drink is water.' he replied: 'O Allah! Bless their meals and their drink.' Abu Al Qasim (the Prophet)(pbuh) said: "Because of Abraham's invocation there are blessings in Mecca."

among generations (to come) in later times. "Salamun (peace) be upon Abraham!" Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsineen (good doers). Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves. (Ch 37:99-111 Quran)

Lokaci ya wuce. Wata rana Ibrahim yana zaune a waje da tentinsa yana tunanin ɗansa Isma'il da hadayar Allah. Zuciyarsa ta cika da girma da ƙauna ga Allah saboda ni'imominsa marasa adadi. Wani babban hawaye ya zubo daga idanunsa, ya tuna masa da Isma'il.

A cikin wannan lokaci, mala'iku uku suka sauko zuwa duniya: Gabriel, Israfil, da Michael. Sun zo a siffar mutane, suka gaida Ibrahim. Ibrahim ya tashi ya tarbe su. Ya shigar da su cikin tentinsa, yana zaton baki ne da baƙi. Ya zaunar da su, ya tabbatar da cewa suna cikin kwanciyar hankali, sannan ya yi wa mutanensa izinin tafiya.

In the meantime, three angels descended to the earth; Gabriel, Israphael, and Michael. They came in human shapes and saluted Abraham. Abraham arose and welcomed them. He took them inside his tent thinking they were strangers and guests. He seated them and made sure that they were comfortable, then excused himself to go to his people.

Matarsa Sarah ta tashi lokacin da ya shigo. Ta riga ta tsufa, gashin kanta ya yi fari. Ibrahim ya ce mata: "Muna da baki uku a gida." Ta tambaya: "Su wane ne?" "Ban san ko ɗaya daga cikinsu ba," ya amsa. "Wane abinci muke da shi?" ya tambaya. "Rabin rago," ta amsa, "Rabin rago! Ka yanka wa su wani ɗan maraƙi mai kiba; baƙi ne kuma baƙi ne da suka zo mana." Ya umarta yayin da yake fita.

His wife Sarah arose when he entered. She had become old and white haired. Abraham said to her: "We have three strangers in the house." "Who are they?" she asked. "I do not know any of them," he answered. "What food have we got?" He asked. Half a sheep." she replied, "Half a sheep! Slaughter a fat calf for them; they are strangers and guests." he ordered while leaving.

Bayinan sun gasa tare sun kuma yi wa wani ɗan maraƙi gasa, suka kawo masa. Ibrahim ya gayyaci mala'iku su ci abinci, shi kuma ya fara ci domin ya ƙarfafa su. Ya ci gaba da ci, amma sa'ad da ya kalli baƙinsa don ya tabbata suna ci, sai ya lura cewa babu ko ɗayansu da ya taɓa abincin. Ya ce musu: "Ba za ku ci ba ne?" Ya sake ci, amma sa'ad da ya sake kallonsu sai ya ga har yanzu ba sa ci. Hannuwansu ba sa miƙewa zuwa abincin. Sai ya fara jin tsoronsu.

The servants roasted and served a calf. Abraham invited the angels to eat and he started eating so as to encourage them. He continued, but when he glanced at his guests to assure they were eating, he noticed that none of them had touched the food. He said to the them: "Are you not going to eat?" He resumed eating, but when he glanced at them again he found that they were still not eating. Their hands did not reach out for the food. He began to fear them.

Tsoron Ibrahim ya ƙaru. Mala'ikun, duk da haka, suna karanta tunanin zuciyarsa, sai ɗaya daga cikinsu ya ce: "Kada ka ji tsoro." Ibrahim ya ɗaga kansa ya amsa: "Lallai ni ina cikin tsoro. Na nemi ku ci abinci amma ba ku miƙa hannuwanku ku ci ba. Shin kuna nufin mugunta a gare ni?" Ɗaya daga cikin mala'ikun ya yi murmushi ya ce: "Mu ba ma ci. Mu mala'ikun Allah ne." Sannan ɗayansu ya juya zuwa ga matarsa ya isar da labarin farin ciki game da Ishaƙa (Ishaaq).

Allah Maɗaukaki ya saukar da cewa:

Almighty Allah revealed:

Hakika, Manzanninmu sun zo wa Ibrahim da labarin farin ciki. Suka ce: "Aminci!" Shi kuma ya amsa: "Aminci!" Sai ya yi gaggawar shirya musu abinci, da naman maraƙi da aka gasa. Amma da ya ga hannayensu ba sa isa gare shi, sai ya ji tsoro a zuciyarsa game da su, ya kuma ji fargaba daga gare su. Suka ce: "Kada ka ji tsoro, an aiko mu ne zuwa ga mutanen Lut." Matarsa kuwa tana tsaye a wurin, sai ta yi dariya (ko dai saboda manzannin ba su ci abincinsu ba, ko kuma saboda murna da halakar mutanen Lut). Sai muka ba ta labarin farin ciki game da Ishaƙ, kuma bayan shi, game da Yaƙub.

"Verily! There came Our Messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said: "Salaam (greetings or peace)!" he answered: "Salaam (greetings or peace)!" and he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf. But, when he saw their hands went not towards it (the meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not, we have been sent against the people of Lot." And his wife was standing there and she laughed (either, because the Messengers did not eat their food or for being glad for the destruction of the people of Lot). But We gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him of Jacob.

Ta ce (cike da mamaki): "Kaiton raina! Shin zan haifi ɗa alhali ni tsohuwa ce, ga shi kuma mijina tsoho ne? Lalle wannan abu ne mai ban mamaki!" Suka ce: "Shin kana mamakin hukuncin Allah? Rahamar Allah da albarkunsa su tabbata a kanku, ya ku mutanen gidan (Ibrahim). Lalle, shi (Allah) Mai godiya ne, Mai girma."

She said (in astonishment): "Woe unto me! Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman, and here is my husband an old man? Verily! This is a strange thing!" They said: "Do you wonder at the Decree of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be on you, O the family (of Abraham). Surely, He (Allah) is All praiseworthy, All-Glorious." (CH 11:69-73).
