وَمَا كَانَ ٱسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَآ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥٓ أَنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ ۚ إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَأَوَّٰهٌ حَلِيمٌ

And Abraham’s asking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he had made to him, but when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him. Surely, Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ابراہیم کا استغفار اپنے باپ کے لئے محض اس وعدے کی وجہ سے تھا جو اُس نے اس سے کیا تھا۔ پس جب اس پر یہ بات خوب روشن ہوگئی کہ وہ اللہ کا دشمن ہے تو وہ اس سے بیزار ہو گیا۔ یقیناً ابراہیم بہت نرم دل (اور) بُردبار تھا۔

French

Et Abraham n’a prié pour le pardon de son père qu’à cause d’une promesse qu’il lui avait faite ; mais lorsqu’il lui devint manifeste que son père était un ennemi d’Allāh, il le désavoua. Assurément, Abraham avait un cœur très sensible, et était tolérant.

German

Dass Abraham für seinen Vater um Verzeihung bat, war nur wegen eines Versprechens, das er ihm gegeben hatte, doch als ihm klar wurde, dass jener ein Feind Allahs sei, sagte er sich von ihm los. Abraham war doch gewiss zärtlichen Herzens, sanftmütig.

Chinese

Italian

Il perdono che Abramo implorò per suo padre dipese solo da una promessa che gli aveva fatto, ma quando gli divenne chiaro che egli era nemico di Allah, se ne dissociò. Invero Abramo era di animo molto tenero e tollerante.

Spanish

Y si Abraham pidió el perdón para su padre fue únicamente por una promesa que él le había hecho, pero cuando vio con claridad que era enemigo de Al-lah, se separó de él. En verdad, Abraham era sumamente compasivo y tolerante.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ابراہیم کا استغفار اپنے باپ کے لئے صرف اس وجہ سے تھا کہ اس نے اس سے ایک وعدہ کیا تھا۔ مگر جب اس پر ظاہر ہو گیا کہ وہ اللہ کا دشمن ہے تو وہ اس وعدہ سے پوری طرح دست بردار ہو گیا۔ ابراہیم بہت ہی نرم دل اور عقل مند تھا۔

Important Words:

اوّاہ (most tender-hearted) is the intensive adjective from اوہ. They say, اوہ or تأوہ i.e. he said, Ah! or Alas! he moaned or uttered a moan; or he gave prolonged utterance to distress or complaint. اواہ means, one who is often saying, Ah! or Alas! from a motive of love or pity or fear; one often moaning or mourning or sorrowing; compassionate or tender-hearted; one often praying; one who praises God greatly or glorifies Him much; one who addresses himself with earnest supplication to God, confident that his prayer will be accepted; one inviting much or often to what is good (Lane).

Commentary:

The preceding verse declares that praying for disbelievers, after it has become clear that they are inmates of Hell, is forbidden. The present verse explains a prayer which Abraham offered for his idolatrous father on the basis that he had made a promise to do so. Abraham, however, was not slow in dissociating himself from his father as soon as it became clear to him that he was an enemy of God. The verse ends with words expressive of high praise for Abraham. See also 6:75.
