وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَّبِيًّا
And mention in the Book Abraham. Indeed, he was a truthful man and a prophet.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 19:41
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 19:41] Refer to the commentary of Baqarah : 124 to 129; An-am: 74 to 87; Bara-at: 113 and 114 and Ibrahim : 35 to 41 to know about Ibrahim, particularly the fact that the parents of Ibrahim were believers, but Azar, the patriarch of his tribe and his uncle, was a disbeliever. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: In verse 84 of Shu-ara Ibrahim prays to Allah to appoint a truthful tongue for him in his latest generation. The earlier generation of Ibrahim, the Israelite branch, in which many prophets of Allah were appointed, had not been selected by Allah, after prophet Isa to be honoured with prophethood. The Ismaelite branch, his latest generation, began with the Holy Prophet and continued through Ali ibn abi Talib upto Imam Mahdi al Qa-im. See commentary of al Baqarah: 124. The mood and manner of this prayer is also present in his prayer mentioned in al Baqarah: 127 to 129 and in the prayers of Is-haq and Yaqub and other prophets of Allah-the appointment of a truthful tongue to represent them all. Is aliyyan, in verse 50, an adjective qualifying the tongue, or the second object of the verb ja-alna? However, unless a particular person is implied by the truthful tongue, aliyyan does not belong here. Therefore it must be read as "the truthful tongue", the sublime and exalted Ali ibn abi Talib; or Ali be taken as a proper noun. There is no difference between these two alternatives because he was not only ali by his name but also, in all aspects of his personality, he was ali in the real sense of the adjective. He was created ali by the aliyyul ala, the highest high, the Lord of the worlds. As the gate to the city of knowledge (the Holy prophet) he was the "truthful tongue" of all the previous prophets of Allah, because whoever represents the Holy Prophet represents all the prophets of Allah. Therefore he is rightly known as the kitabullah al natiq, the speaking book of Allah.

Commentary on Quran 19:41-50
This was in due fulfilment of Abraham’s prayers, which never failed, as confirmed in his statement on Couplet 84, Surah Poets. Forty-third Couplet disproves tradition concocted “following any companion (not gifted with Divine Knowledge) can lead to salvation.
