21 Al-Anbiya(الأنبياء), Ayah 72

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ 72 ٧٢

And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous. (72)

Tafsir

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً (And We blessed him with Ishaq and Ya` qub as gift - Al-Anbiya 21:72 ) That is, Allah Ta` la had bestowed upon him the son Ishaq علیہ السلام as per his supplication and in addition to that a grandson Ya` qub علیہ السلام as a gift. This is why he is referred to as نَافِلَةً nafilah which originally means 'extra'.
