﴿ وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ إِسْمَٰعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًۭا نَّبِيًّۭا ﴾

“AND CALL to mind, through this divine writ, Ishmael. Behold, he was always true to his promise, and was an apostle [of God], a prophet,”

(And make mention in the Scripture of Ishmael) of the event of Ishmael. (Lo! he was a keeper of his promise) whenever he promised he kept his promise, (and he was a messenger (of Allah)) to his people (a prophet) informing on behalf of Allah.
