surah Baqarah aya 124 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿۞ وَإِذِ ابْتَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا ۖ قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ﴾
[ البقرة: 124]
2:124 And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [Allah] said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [Allah] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThe Qur’ān tells us that Allah tested Abraham ( peace be upon him ) by instructing him to fulfil commandments and obligations.
Abraham obeyed, fulfilling the orders completely.
Allah told His prophet Abraham that He would make his manners and behaviour an example for people to follow.
Abraham asked Allah to make also his descendants leaders who people would be guided by.
Allah replied by saying that His promise to him of sacred leadership would not extend to the wrongdoers among his descendants.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And (remember) when the Lord of Ibrahim (Abraham) [i.e., Allah] tried him with (certain) Commands, which he fulfilled. He (Allah) said (to him), "Verily, I am going to make you a leader (Prophet) of mankind." [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said, "And of my offspring (to make leaders)." (Allah) said, "My Covenant (Prophethood, etc.) includes not Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers."
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And (remember) when the Lord of Ibrahim (Abraham) tried him with (certain) commands, which he fulfilled. He (Allah) said (to him), "Verily, I am going to make you an Imam (a leader) for mankind (to follow you)." (Ibrahim) said, "And of my offspring (to make leaders)." (Allah) said, "My covenant (prophethood) includes not Zalimin (polytheists and wrongdoers)."

2:124 And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with translate in arabic
وإذ ابتلى إبراهيم ربه بكلمات فأتمهن قال إني جاعلك للناس إماما قال ومن ذريتي قال لا ينال عهدي الظالمين
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 124 ) - جزء: ( 1 ) - صفحة: ( 19 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
For once Allah tested Ibrahim with divine commands which Ibrahim had fulfilled. In response Allah said to him: I have ordained to appoint you as the Imam, or religious leader, of mankind. Will this apply to my descendants? asked Ibrahim. My appointment, said Allah, is not designated to the wrong- minded
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:124) Recall to mind that when his Lord put Abraham to test *124 in certain things and he fulfilled all of them, He said, "I am going to make you the leader of mankind." Abraham humbly asked, "Does this promise apply to my descendants also?" He replied, "My promise does not apply to the transgressors." *125
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with meaning
*124). At various places the Qur'an enumerates the severe tests through which Abraham passed. It was only after these had been completed successfully that he was able to establish his worthiness to serve as the religious guide and leader of all mankind. From the moment when the truth was revealed to him till the moment he died, his life was a continuous tale of sacrifice and suffering for his cause. There is no conceivable object of man's love and attachment in the world which Abraham did not sacrifice for the sake of the truth. Likewise, there is no conceivable danger which instinctively frightens man which Abraham did not encounter for the sake of the Truth.
*125). This specifies that God's promise of the conferment of leadership applied only to those of Abraham's offspring who were righteous, and that the wrong-doers were naturally excluded. This also makes it clear that, just as the promise did not apply to the misguided Israelites, it did not apply to the polytheistic Ishmaelites.

یاد کرو کہ جب ابراہیمؑ کو اس کے رب نے چند باتوں میں آزما یا اور وہ اُن سب میں پورا اتر گیا، تو اس نے کہا: "میں تجھے سب لوگوں کا پیشوا بنانے والا ہوں" ابراہیمؑ نے عرض کیا: "اور کیا میری اولاد سے بھی یہی وعدہ ہے؟" اس نے جواب دیا: "میرا وعدہ ظالموں سے متعلق نہیں ہے"
