In one divine test, Abraham (a) was ordered to slaughter his son. According to the Quranic account, Abraham (a) saw in his dream that he was slaughtering his son. He told his son about the dream and the son asked him to comply with God's command. However, when Abraham (a) laid his son in the altar in order to slaughter him, there was a call: “O Abraham! You have indeed fulfilled your vision! Thus indeed do We reward the virtuous! This was indeed a manifest test.’ Then We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.”<ref>Qur'an 37:101-108</ref> | In one divine test, Abraham (a) was ordered to slaughter his son.

The [[Qur'an]] does not name Abraham's son whom he was ordered to slaughter. There is a dispute over this between [[Shi'a]]s and [[Sunni]]s. Some people say that it was Ishmael (a) and others take him to be [[Isaac (a)]]. [[Al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] maintans that Shiite hadiths imply that it was Ishmael (a). In his commentary on ''[[Furu' al-kafi]]'', [[Mulla Salih Mazandarani]] takes this to be the predominant view among Shiite scholars. | The [[Qur'an]] does not name Abraham's son whom he was ordered to slaughter.
