Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, every prophet has friends among the prophets, and among them, my friend is my father and my Lord’s intimate friend, Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: Indeed, the people who are nearest to Ibrahim are those who followed him, and this Prophet, and those who believe; and Allah is the Protector and Helper of the believers. (: Surah Aal-e-Imran: 68)

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We are more deserving of doubt than Ibrahim (peace be upon him), when he said: O my Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead. He (Allah) said: Do you not believe? Ibrahim said: Yes, of course, (I am asking) so that my heart may be at ease.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People will be gathered in such a state that they will be barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised. The first to be clothed will be Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "As We began the first creation, so shall We repeat it."

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Friend of the Most Merciful, Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), performed circumcision with an adze at the age of eighty years.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to trim his moustache, and before him, your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him) also used to trim his moustache.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ibrahim (peace be upon him) told only three lies: (1) When his people called him towards their false deities, he said: I am sick; (2) After breaking the idols, he said: The biggest of them has done this; and (3) He said about his wife, Sayyidah Sarah (may Allah have mercy on her): Indeed, she is my sister. The detail of the last incident is as follows: Ibrahim (peace be upon him) entered a town in which there was a king or a tyrant ruler. It was reported to him that tonight Ibrahim has entered our town with an extremely beautiful woman. He summoned him and then asked: Who is this with you? He said: She is my sister. He said: Send her to me. So he sent her to him and said: Do not belie me; I have told him that you are my sister (therefore, you must also present yourself as my sister), for there is no believer on earth besides me and you. When Sayyidah (may Allah have mercy on her) entered upon him, he approached her. She performed ablution, offered prayer, and said: O Allah! If You know that I have believed in You and Your Messenger, and have protected my chastity except from my husband, then do not give this disbeliever power over me. As a result of this supplication, he began to gasp and started striking his feet on the ground. Seeing this situation, Sayyidah said: O Allah! If he dies, it will be said that this woman killed him. So his condition was relieved, and he again stood up towards her. Sayyidah again performed ablution, offered prayer, and said: O Allah! If You know that I have believed in You and Your Messenger, and have protected my chastity except from my husband, then do not give this disbeliever power over me. The king again began to gasp and started striking his feet on the ground. Sayyidah said: O Allah! If he dies, it will be said that this woman killed him. So his condition was relieved. He said for the third or fourth time: You people have sent a devil to me; return her to Ibrahim and give her Hajar as a maid. So she returned and said to Ibrahim (peace be upon him): Do you know that Allah Almighty has repelled the plot of the disbeliever and has also given a maid for service?

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: The first woman to use a belt around her waist was Umm Isma'il. She arranged the belt to conceal its mark from Sayyida Sarah, may Allah have mercy on her. Then he mentioned the rest of the hadith and said: May Allah have mercy on Umm Isma'il; if she had left Zamzam, in one narration it is: if she had not scooped from Zamzam, it would have been a flowing spring. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: This thing overtook Umm Isma'il that she liked familiarity, so they settled there and she also sent a message to her people, so they too came and settled there... Then Sayyida Hajar, may Allah have mercy on her, descended from Safa until she reached the valley and lifted the edge of her shirt, then ran like a person in distress until she crossed the valley, then she came to Marwah and stood on it and looked to see if she could spot anyone, but she could not see anyone. Thus she did this seven times. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: For this reason, people perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) brought Ismail (peace be upon him) and Hajar (may Allah have mercy on her) and settled them at the place of Zamzam in Makkah, ... ... , then when Hajar went from Marwah to Ismail, the spring was gushing forth, she began to dig the ground at the place of the spring with her hand in this manner, until water collected in that pit and she began to fill her water-skin with the help of a bowl. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If she had left it, it would have become a spring flowing till the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: Then the angel brought Lady Hajarah (may Allah have mercy on her), until when he reached the place of Zamzam, he struck his heel there, and a spring gushed forth from that place. Now the lady began to fill her water-skin with the help of a cup. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah have mercy on the mother of Isma'il; if she had not hurried, Zamzam would have been a flowing stream.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Do you not see your people? When they constructed the Kaaba, they reduced it from the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Sayyida said: O Messenger of Allah! So why do you not rebuild it upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If your people had not only recently abandoned disbelief (I would have done so). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then I think that the reason the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch the two corners of the Kaaba on the side of Hatim is because that side of the Kaaba was not upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and his intention was that people should perform the full circumambulation of the House of Allah and circle behind the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
