Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Ibrahim Receives the News of Ishaq and Ya`qub During His Old AgeAllah states that after Ibrahim became old and he, and his wife, Sarah, lost hope of having children, He gave them Ishaq. The angels came to Ibrahim on their way to the people of Prophet Lut (to destroy them) and they delivered the good news of a child to Ibrahim and his wife.
