Commentary

It is commanded: You should make mention of Ishmael (peace be upon him) in the Book. He was very virtuous and true to his promise. He did never break the promise; made with any person, although he had to bear much trouble for it. Similitude of his determination and firmness is obvious that he got ready to sacrifice his life on the command of Allah Almighty and saying of his father. God Almighty saved him and sent down a ram for sacrificing at his place. He made him His Prophet and appointed Messenger also to convey the Message of His guidance unto the people. Ishmael (peace be upon him) used to enjoin upon the members of his family for offering prayer and almsgiving, so that other people should do the same work too in their imitation. He (peace be upon him) was acceptable in the sight of Allah Almighty.

After that, there is mention of Idris (peace be upon him) that he was honest and rightful servant and Prophet of Allah Almighty. He gave him very high grade in arts and sciences. Rank of Idris (peace be upon him) is very higher in this world and in the Hereafter. His time is between the times of Adam and Noah (peace be upon them).
