Commentary:
God chose leaders of religious movements from among the progeny of Abraham in fulfilment of his prayer referred to in 2:125. A similar promise in regard to the raising of Divine Reformers in every age from among his followers was made to the Holy Prophet (Abu Dawud). This promise is also implicit in the famous prayer, i.e. Darud, viz. "O Lord bestow thy blessings upon Muhammad as Thou didst bestow Thy blessings upon Abraham." Divine Reformers continued to appear among the progeny of Abraham till, with the rejection of Jesus by the Jews, they were deprived of this boon for all times and prophethood was transferred to the House of Ishmael in fulfilment of the above-said prayer. Divine teachers are now raised from among the followers of the Holy Prophet in every century to regenerate Islam and they will continue to do so till the end of time. The fulfilment of the prayer implicit in Darud establishes the superiority of the Holy Prophetover Abraham because whereas Divine teachers ceased to appear among the progeny of Abraham after Jesus, they will continue to appear among his followers as long as this world lasts.

قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْعَٰبِدِينَ
کیونکہ مَیں خداتعالیٰ سے پیار کرنے والا ہوں‘ اور اس کا فرمانبردار ہوں۔ مگر نہ آسمانی دلیل اس کے حق میں ہے نہ عقلی۔ اس لئے میں مجبوراً بیٹے کے خیال کی تردید کرتا ہوں۔
‘Abid is active participle from ‘Abada which means, he worshipped; and from ‘Abida which means, he was angry; he denied; he was sorrowful for having been remiss; he was disdainful (Lane). The verse thus means: (a) If the Gracious God had a son, I would have been the first to worship him (the son) because, being God’s most obedient and faithful servant, I would not have been remiss in my duty to him (the son). (b) If it could be possible that the Gracious God should have a son, I am most entitled to this position because I have worshipped God most and have served Him most. (c) The Gracious God, certainly, has no son (in meaning 'not') and I am the first to bear witness to this fact, the word ‘Abidin signifying Shahidin, i.e. witnesses. (d) The Gracious God has no son, and I am the first disdainful denier of the assertion that He has one.
