Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 37:103
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا } أي: إبراهيم وابنه إسماعيل، جازما بقتل ابنه وثمرة فؤاده، امتثالا لأمر ربه، وخوفا من عقابه، والابن قد وطَّن نفسه على الصبر، وهانت عليه في طاعة ربه، ورضا والده، { وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ } أي: تل إبراهيم إسماعيل على جبينه، ليضجعه فيذبحه، وقد انكب لوجهه، لئلا ينظر وقت الذبح إلى وجهه.
