(84) وَ وَهَبْنا لَهُ إِسْحاقَ وَ يَعْقُوبَ كُلاًّ هَدَيْنا وَ نُوحاً هَدَيْنا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ داوُدَ وَ
سُلَيْمانَ وَ أَيُّوبَ وَ يُوسُفَ وَ مُوسى وَ هارُونَ وَ كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
84. " And We bestowed upon him (Abraham) (issues like) Isac and Jacob, each one We guided; and Noah We guided before; and of his seed David and Solomon, Job and Joseph, Moses and Aron (We appointed prophets), and thus do We reward the doers of good."
Commentary :
From this verse on, a part of favours that Allah had bestowed upon Abraham are referred to. Those favours are righteous offsprings, and an eligible and fruitful family which is one of the greatest Divine merits.
At first, it says :
" And We bestowed upon him (Abraham) (issues like) Isac and Jacob,..."
Then, in order to show that the honour of these two Prophets does not lie only in the matter that they were the progenies of the Prophet, but they themselve had fixed the light of guidance in their hearts by their own correct thoughts and righteous deeds, it says :
"... each one We guided ..."
Next to this meaning, in order that nobody imagines that there had not been any advocator for monotheism during the periods before Abraham, and that this matter has begun from the time of Abraham, the verse continues saying :
"... and Noah We guided before; ..."
In fact, by pointing to the situation of Noah (a.s.), who is one of Abraham's ancestors, and the situation of a group of the prophets, who are from among his descendents and his offsprings, the Qur'an defines the high position of Abraham from the view point of 'heritage and nobility', and 'the fruit' of personality.
Following that, it mentions the names of several prophets who are from the seed of Abraham. At first, it says :
"... and of his seed David and Solomon, Job and Joseph, Moses and Aron (We appointed prophets) ..."
So, at the end of the verse, the statement of the holy verse continues as follows :
"... and thus do We reward the doers of good."
Thus, the Qur'an makes it clear that their rank and position existed as a result of their own good deeds.
