3. The Words Taught by Allah to Hazrat Ibrahim (a.s.) - Surah Baqarah (2): Verse 124

وَإِذِ ابْتَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا ۖ قَالَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ {124}

And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain words, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely I will make you an Imam of men. Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My covenant does not include the unjust, said He.

It is narrated from Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.) that the meaning of بِكَلِمَاتٍ refers to the words which Hazrat Adam (a.s.) received from His Lord. And they are – O my Lord! I beseech you in the name of Mohammed (s.a.w.a.), Ali (a.s.), Janabe Fatima Zahra (s.a.), Hasan (a.s.) and Husain (a.s.)…”¹
