Ibn `Abbas, Qatadah and Al-Hakam bin `Uyaynah said, "The gift of a son who has a son," meaning that Ya`qub was the son of Ishaq, as Allah says: فَبَشَّرْنَـهَا بِإِسْحَـقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَـقَ يَعْقُوبَ ( But We gave her glad tidings of Ishaq, and after Ishaq, of Ya`qub ) 11:71.
`Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "He asked for one son, and said, رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ الصَّـلِحِينِ ( "My Lord! Grant me from the righteous." ) So Allah gave him Ishaq, and gave him Ya`qub in addition. وَكُلاًّ جَعَلْنَا صَـلِحِينَ ( Each one We made righteous.
) means, both of them were good and righteous people. وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً ( And We made them leaders, ) means, examples to be followed. يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا ( guiding by Our command, ) inviting to Him by His leave.
Allah says: وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلوة وَإِيتَآءَ الزَّكَـوةِ ( and We revealed to them the doing of good deeds, performing Salah, and the giving of Zakah, ) Here the general is followed by the specific. وَكَانُواْ لَنَا عَـبِدِينَ ( and of Us (Alone ) they were the worshippers.) means, they did what they enjoined others to do. The Prophet Lut Then Allah mentions Lut, whose full name was Lut bin Haran bin Azar.

He (Ibrahim ) said: "I will emigrate for the sake of my Lord") 29:26.
Allah gave him wisdom and knowledge; He sent Revelation to him, made him a Prophet and appointed him to Sadum ( Sodom ) and its vicinity, but they rejected him and resisted him, so Allah utterly destroyed them, as He tells us in several places in His Book.
Allah says; وَلُوطاً آتَيْنَـهُ حُكْماً وَعِلْماً وَنَجَّيْنَـهُ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِى كَانَت تَّعْمَلُ الْخَبَـئِثَ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَـسِقِينَ - وَأَدْخَلْنَـهُ فِى رَحْمَتِنَآ إِنَّهُ مِنَ الصَّـلِحِينَ ( and We saved him from the town who practised Al-Khaba'ith.
