And remember Ismāʿīl in the Book. He was true to his word[1] and a Messenger, a Prophet.

Commentary

[1]

Although all Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـسَّـلَام are true to their word, Prophet Ismāʿīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was mentioned specifically as he was distinguished in this quality. Remaining true to one’s word is the way of the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـسَّـلَام, and not fulfilling one’s promise is a sign of a hypocrite; it is mentioned in a Hadith, “[a sign of a hypocrite is that] when he makes a promise, he breaks it.” (Saḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī: 33)
