English translation
3372. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه : Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “We are more liable to be in doubt about Ibrāhīm (Abraham) when he said, . . . Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.’ He (Allāh) said: ‘Do you not believe?’ He (Ibrāhīm) said: ‘Yes, (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith...’” (V.2:260) And may Allāh send His Mercy on Lout (Lot)! Certainly he used to lean on a powerful support. If I were to stay in prison for such a long time as Yūsuf (Joseph) did, I would have accepted the offer (of freedom without insisting on having my guiltlessness declared).”(1)
