Allah the Exalted said,
[أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ
بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَى - وَإِبْرَهِيمَ الَّذِى وَفَّى ]
(Or is he not informed with what is in the Suhuf of Musa. And of Ibrahim who
fulfilled), Sa`id bin Jubayr and Ath-Thawri said it means: "Conveyed all that he
was ordered to convey.'' Ibn `Abbas said about:
[وَفَّى]
(fulfilled) "He delivered all that Allah ordered him to deliver.'' Sa`id bin
Jubayr said about:
[وَفَّى]
(fulfilled), "What he was ordered.'' Qatadah said about:
[وَفَّى]
(fulfilled), "He obeyed Allah and delivered His Message to His creatures.''
This is the view preferred by Ibn Jarir because it includes the statement before
it and supports it. Allah said,
[وَإِذِ ابْتَلَى
إِبْرَهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَـتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ قَالَ إِنِّى جَـعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ
إِمَامًا]
(And (remember) when the Lord of Ibrahim tried him with (certain) commands,
which he fulfilled. He said: "Verily, I am going to make you an Imam (a leader)
for mankind.'')(2:124) Therefore, Ibrahim fulfilled all the commands of his
Lord, stayed away from all the prohibitions, and conveyed Allah's Message in its
entirety. Therefore, he is worthy of being made a leader for mankind in all of
his affairs, statements and actions. Allah the Exalted said,
[ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَآ
إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ
الْمُشْرِكِينَ ]
(Then, We have sent the revelation to you (saying): "Follow the religion of
Ibrahim, a Hanif, and he was not of the idolators.'')(16:123)
