Ibrahim (peace be upon him) spoke Syriac and Hebrew, and was sent first to the people of Babylon, then he went to Syria and Hijaz. As for Ismail (peace be upon him), he spoke Arabic because he grew up among the Jurhum tribe, married from them, and learned their language. Thus, Quraish and our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were from his lineage.
