Noah and Abraham
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحࣰا وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مُّهۡتَدࣲۖ وَكَثِيرࣱ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ ٢٦
And We verily sent Noah and Abraham and placed the prophethood and the scripture among their seed, and among them there is he who goeth right, but many of them are evil-livers.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
We sent Noah and Abraham and placed in their descendants prophethood and scripture.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this details the previous verse; the strong emphases answer an implied question.
