Chapter on Virtues of Hajj
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 2|Book 3|Chapter 2
وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلذَّبِيحِ مَنْ كَانَ فَقَالَ « إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَكَرَ قِصَّتَهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « وَ بَشَّرْنٰاهُ بِإِسْحٰاقَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ اَلصّٰالِحِينَ » ».
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about who the "sacrificed one" (Dhabih) was, and Imam عليه السلام said: "Isma'il عليه السلام, because Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned his story in His Book and then said: 'And We gave him glad tidings of Ishaq, a prophet from among the righteous.'" (Surah As-Saffat 37:112)
