Tafsir
Since Hazrat Ibrahim 'alaihis-salâm' knew that the angels would not come to him only to give him the good news of a child, he asked the angels in this respect, as he sensed that they had important works on earth. He says, "What other things do you have to do on earth?
What is said in the video
He would sigh. Yes. O messengers, what other business do you have, they said. Abraham said. Now he asks the angels. Other, that is, did you come to me just for this, he says. Did you come for this, for me? Because Abraham (peace be upon him) knew that the angels would not come only to give him good tidings of a child, and because he sensed that there were also important matters on earth, for that reason, to the angels: After this, what other tasks do you have to do on earth? he said.
