The Guests of the Prophet Ibrahim
We mentioned this story before in Surah Hud and Al-Hijr. Allah said,
هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيْفِ إِبْرَهِيمَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
رَاغَ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِ (Then he slipped off to his home - 51:26). Ragha is derived from rawgh which means to slip out quietly. In other words, Holy Prophet Ibrahim (علیہ السلام) discreetly went in the house in haste to arrange for meal for his guests, so that they do not sense it. Otherwise they would have stopped him.
