Thereafter, when he (Isma’il ع) reached an age in which he could work with him, he (Ibrahim ع) said, “O my little son, I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so consider, what is your opinion?” He said, “O my dear father, do what you have been ordered to do. You will find me, insha’allah , (if Allah wills) one of those who endure patiently.”
So, (it was a great episode) when both of them submitted themselves (to Allah’s will), and he laid him on his forehead (to slaughter him),
And then We called out to him, “O Ibrahim,
You did make the dream come true.” This is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.
This was indeed a trial that clearly demonstrated (their obedience).
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice,
And We left for him (a word of praise) among the later people,
(That is,) “Salam be on Ibrahim!
Qur’an (37:102-107)
