After this, they gave him the glad tidings of the birth of a son and the destruction of the people of Lut.

Lo! Abraham was mild, imploring, penitent.

For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to Allah.

Verily, Ibrahim (Abraham) was, without doubt, forbearing, used to invoke Allah with humility, and was repentant (to Allah all the time, again and again).

Abraham was gentle, kind, penitent.
