Hazrat Ibrahīm (a.s.) and the Fire
When Hazrat IbrahÄ«m (a.s.) was tied to a catapult to be thrown into the blazing fire he said, “Allah (S.w.T.) is sufficient for me.” When IbrahÄ«m (a.s.) claimed that Allah (S.w.T.)’s help was sufficient for him, and he did not need help from anyone else, Allah (S.w.T.) decided to test him and sent JibrÄ«l, who asked IbrahÄ«m (a.s.) if he had any kind of wish so that it may be fulfilled. IbrahÄ«m (a.s.) replied, “I do have a wish but not from you.” JibrÄ«l said: “It is correct but express your wish to the one in whom you repose hope.” Hazrat IbrahÄ«m (a.s.) replied: “He is aware of my condition hence there is no need for me to say it verbally.”
