Later on, Prophet Muhammad, (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) said referring to Prophet
Ishmael and his own father Abdullah, whose life was ransomed by the slaying of a
hundred camels: "I am the son of the two sacrifices."
When Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) revived the pilgrimage many
centuries later, three stone pillars were erected outside Mecca en-route to Arafat as a
reminder of the three whisperings of satan to Prophets Abraham, Ishmael, and Lady

wife returned and showed him no respect. She neither welcomed, nor was she
hospitable to her elderly visitor. Abraham asked her where her husband was, whereupon
she told him he was away hunting. He then inquired about their life and circumstances
