And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers."
و چون ابراهيم را پروردگارش با كلماتى بيازمود، و وى آن همه را به انجام رسانيد، [خدا به او] فرمود: «من تو را پيشواى مردم قرار دادم.» [ابراهيم‌] پرسيد: «از دودمانم [چطور]؟» فرمود: «پيمان من به بيدادگران نمى‌رسد.»
