This is the beginning of Abraham's wish to have a righteous son, and he prayed to his LORD for a “RIGHTEOUS” son.
1. Quran 37:100
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Sahih International
My Lord, grant me from among the righteous."
a) Arabic root: ص ل ح
Meaning: to be good, right, proper, in order, righteous, pious, godly
==> Abraham praying for a “RIGHTEOUS” Son was left unanswered, except the good news of a FORBEARING boy <==
2. Quran 37:101
فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ
Sahih International
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.
a) Arabic root: ح ل م

===> Abraham and his dream to sacrifice son <====
3. Quran 37:102
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ
Sahih International
And when he reached with him exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in dream that I sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."
a) Arabic root: ص ب ر
Meaning: صَبْر (ṣabr)
to be patient, be forbearing, have patience, take patience, persevere, to bear calmly, patiently, stoutly, endure
Important Note:
At this stage, there was no mention of a child being a future Prophet or being righteous except forbearing child.
4. Quran 37:103
فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ
Sahih International
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead,
5. Quran 37:104

We called to him, "O Abraham,
6. Quran 37:105
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا ۚ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Sahih International
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.
7. Quran 37:106
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ

Indeed, this was the clear trial.

====> THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH <======
FINALLY, ABRAHAM'S WISH TO HAVE A RIGHTEOUS SON WAS GRANTED.

a) Arabic root: ص ل ح

Analysis between "Forbearing" and "Righteous" child.
Let's stop here for a moment, and go back to Quran 37:100 to re-look at Abraham praying for a "Righteous - الصَّالِحِينَ" child but his Allah gave him a "Forbearing - حَلِيمٍ" son instead.
In Quran 37:102 both Abraham and his forbearing unnamed child were given a trial. In Quran 37:103, both of them had passed the trial. But still, the child was not identified as "Righteous" just yet, until Quran 37:112 has announced it.
i. Good news
ii. Forbearing child
iii. Righteous child
========================
All the above was the same child,
ISAAC was named in the Quran.
========================
===> Abraham and Isaac and their future descendants were blessed <==
14. Quran 37: 113
وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ إِسْحَاقَ ۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ
Sahih International
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly
unjust to himself.
==> Prophethood line-up from Isaac lineage <==
15. Quran 37:114
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
Sahih International
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron.
16. Quran 37:115
وَنَجَّيْنَاهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ
Sahih International
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction,
17. Quran 37:116
وَنَصَرْنَاهُمْ فَكَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
Sahih International
And We supported them so it was they who overcame.
سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
Sahih International
"Peace upon Abraham."
11. Quran 37:110

سَلَامٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ

"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."
======================================================================
Other Quran verses also gave a strong indication that Isaac and his descendants are the chosen family to inherit the Scripture and Prophethood.
Quran 45:16
And We did certainly give the Children of Israel the Scripture and judgment and prophethood, and We provided them with good things and preferred them over the worlds.
Quran 25:35
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant
Quran 40:53
And We had certainly given Moses the guidance, and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit the Scripture.
Quran 29:27
And We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous."
Quran 3:33
Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran over the worlds
Quran 33:7
And, when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary; and We took from them a solemn covenant.
Quran 12:38
And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah . That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.
Quran 19:58
Those were the ones upon whom Allah bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.
Quran 6:84
And We gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - all [of them] We guided. And Noah, We guided before; and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good.
Quran 11:71
And his Wife was standing, and she smiled. Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob.
Quran 11:72
She said, "Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!"
Quran 11:73
They said, "Are you amazed at the decree of Allah? May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable."
======================================================================
The above surah has clearly mentioned Abraham and Isaac by name and subsequently, Moses and Aaron to be first receiving the (Torah) Scripture. Since the Quran itself has eliminated Ishmael, and therefore confirming Muhammad was a FALSE Prophet.
Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy explanation.
