Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Prayer of Ibrahim for Himself and for His FatherHere Ibrahim, upon him be peace, asks his Lord to give him Hukm. Ibn `Abbas said, "This is knowledge."وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِالصَّـلِحِينَ(and join me with the righteous.) means, `make me one of the righteous in this world and the Hereafter.' This is like the words the Prophet said three times when he was dying:«اللَّهُمَّ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى»(O Allah, with the Exalted Companion (of Paradise)).
