Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair narrates that Hazrat Musa said, "O my Lord! You have mentioned Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Yaqub. How did You grant them this excellence?" Allah said, "Whatever was used to turn Ibrahim away from Me, he chose Me instead. And Ishaq sacrificed his own self for Me, so he is more willing to sacrifice other things. And however I tested Yaqub, his good opinion of Me only increased."
