﴿ وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَٰهِۦمُ ٱلْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَإِسْمَٰعِيلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ﴾
“And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the Temple, [they prayed:] "O our Sustainer! Accept Thou this from us: for, verily, Thou alone art all-hearing, all-knowing!”
And when Abraham raised up the foundations of the House and Ishmael with him: �Our Lord! Receive this from us. Truly You are the Hearing the Knowing. The success of the request is in the sincerity of the supplication nujḥu al-suÌāl fī ṣidqi al-ibtihāl. When the two of them humbly sought aid in prayer He gave them help and fulfilled the request. Truly You are the Hearing of our speech the Knowing of our states.
