The Angels' Glad Tidings
However, his guests did not eat the
food placed before them, because:
When he saw that their hands were not
reaching for it, he suspected them and felt
afraid of them. They said: "Have no fear. We
have been sent to the tribe of Lot." (Surah
Hud: 70)
The way that his guests declined
to eat, even though he had treated
them very warmly and offered them
food, showed the Prophet Abraham
(pbuh) that something extraordinary
was happening. These angels, who came
to him in human guise, displayed a most noble
and blameless morality. Indeed, he treated them
with such enormous hospitality because he realized
that they were most worthy guests. The angels then revealed
their true identities and gave him the glad tidings of a right-
eous son:
When they came in to him, they said: "Peace." He replied:
"Truly we are afraid of you." They said: "Do not be afraid.
We bring you the good news of a boy of great knowledge."
(Surat al-Hijr: 52-53)
