فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَامٍ عَلِيمٍ
And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy. (28)
فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً (So he felt some fear in his heart...Adh-Dhariyat 51:28 ⧉). When the guests did not eat the food, the Holy Prophet Ibrahim علیہ السلام conceived fear of them. In those days it was the custom of the noble people to entertain the guests who were expected to accept the hospitality of the host. If they did not, the host would become apprehensive that there is some danger afoot - probably they are enemies who came to cause some kind of trouble for them. In those days, even the rogues and wrongdoers had the noble quality that they would not cause any harm to anyone whose food they had eaten. Hence refusing to eat was a sign of hostility or danger.
