Commentary
Then We revealed to you in 'then' this what is in it of glorifying the status of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, and honoring his place, and indicating that the most noble thing that the friend of Allah, Ibrahim, was granted of honor, and the greatest blessing he was given: is following the religion of the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him. This is because it indicates the distance of this description in rank among the other descriptions with which Allah praised him.
