Tafsir

In Verse As-Saffat 37:107 , it was said: وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ (And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.). In Hadith reports, it is said that on hearing this voice from the heavens, Sayyidna Ibrahim علیہ السلام looked up and saw Sayyidna Jibra'il علیہ السلام with a ram. From some reports, it appears that it was the same ram that was offered as sacrifice by Habil (Abel), the son of Sayyidna 'Adam علیہ السلام . Allah knows best. In short, a present of this ram of Paradise was made to Sayyidna Ibrahim علیہ السلام ، and he sacrificed it in lieu of his son as commanded by Allah. This sacrificial animal was called: عَظِیم (` azim: great) because it had come by way of mercy from Allah, and no one can entertain any doubt about the acceptance of its sacrifice.
