- .... The second position: That there is no evidence of polytheism from either of them, but they were both on the Hanifiyyah, the religion of their grandfather Ibrahim (peace be upon him), just as Zayd ibn Amru ibn Nufayl and his peers were in the Jahiliyyah. This position was favored by Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (may he rest in peace), who added that all of his (peace be upon him) ancestors up to Adam were upon monotheism, as stated in his book Asrar al-Tanzil, in which he wrote: It is said that Azar was not the father of Ibrahim but rather his uncle, and they argued this with several points, including: that the fathers of the prophets were not kafirun (disbelievers). This is supported by several indications, one of which is Allah's statement: {Indeed, you see him when he stands, and your gaze shifts among those who prostrate} (Ash-Shu'ara: 218-219). It is said that this means he was transferring his light from one prostrator to another, and with this interpretation, the verse indicates that all the fathers of Muhammad (peace be upon him) were Muslims. Therefore, it must be concluded that the father of Ibrahim was not among the disbelievers; he was, rather, his uncle. The most that can be said is that his statement, {and your gaze shifts among those who prostrate} (Ash-Shu'ara: 219), could be understood in other ways. If narrations come regarding all of this, and there is no contradiction between them, the verse should be understood in light of all of them. Once this is established, it confirms that the father of Ibrahim was not one of the idol-worshippers. He (al-Razi) said, and what indicates that the ancestors of Muhammad (peace be upon him) were not polytheists is his (peace be upon him) statement: "I have always transferred from the loins of the pure to the wombs of the pure." And Allah, the Exalted, said: {Indeed, the polytheists are unclean} (At-Tawbah: 28), so it is necessary that none of his (peace be upon him) ancestors were polytheists.

- ... And concerning Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding Allah's statement, Mighty and Majestic be He: {And your transition among those who prostrate} (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, 26:219), he said: From one prophet to another until a prophet is sent forth. This means that he found the prophets in his forefathers, and it will come that he was projected into the loins of Adam, then into the loins of Noah, then into the loins of Abraham (peace be upon them) as evidenced by what will be mentioned later. In another wording from him, he said: The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) continued to transition in the loins of the prophets, whether mentioned or not, until his mother gave birth to him. And this, as is clear, does not contradict the occurrence of one who is not a prophet in his forefathers, so the meaning is the presence of prophets (peace be upon them) in his lineage (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), as you know. It is essential that not all of his ancestors were prophets. However, others said: His light (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) continued to be transferred from one who prostrates to another.
