وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءَ الزَّكَاةِ ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا عَابِدِينَ 73 ٧٣

And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshippers of Us. (73)

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'.
