Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
This story attributed to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) about the Majusi whom he invited for food and stipulated that he embrace Islam, after which Allah Almighty rebuked him, has no basis. Some chroniclers mentioned it in their books, which contain both valuable and worthless material. It is not appropriate to narrate such stories of unknown origin.
