Pickthall
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
-
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ

Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
-
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
Pickthall
We called unto him: O Abraham!

Peace be unto Abraham!
-
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
