And Lahij -as was a Prophet -as , a Warner, but was not a Messenger -as . And Ibrahim -as was, in his -as youth, upon the nature which Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Created, to the extent that Allah -azwj Blessed and High Guided him -as to His -azwj Religion, and Chose him -as . And he -as married Sara, the daughter of Lahij -as , the daughter of his -as maternal aunt.
And Sara was the owner of a lot of assets, and vast lands, and of good financial condition, and Ibrahim -as was the owner of all what she had owned. So he -as managed it, and corrected the affairs, and increased the assets and plantations considerably, to the extent that he -as became the most affluent man in the land of Kowsy Ruba.
