Patriarch

The word "Patriarch" (Arab. الْأَسْبَاطِ) appears 5 times in 5 verses of The Quran: (2:136), (2:140), (3:84), (4:163), (7:160).

(2:136) Say, "We acknowledge God and what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs (Arab. وَالْأَسْبَاطِ, wal-asbāṭi), what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord; we do not make a distinction between any of them and to Him we peacefully surrender."

(2:140) "Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Patriarchs (Arab. وَالْأَسْبَاطِ, wal-asbāṭi) were all Jewish or Nazarene?" Say, "Are you more knowledgeable or is God?" Who is more wicked than one who conceals a testimony with him from God? God is not oblivious of what you do.

(3:84) Say, "We acknowledge God and what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs (Arab. وَالْأَسْبَاطِ, wal-asbāṭi), and what was given to Moses, Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We do not discriminate between them, and to Him we peacefully surrender."

(4:163) We have inspired you as We have inspired Noah and the prophets after him. We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs (Arab. وَالْأَسْبَاطِ, wal-asbāṭi), and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon; and We have given David the Psalms.

(7:160) We separated them into twelve tribes (Arab. أَسْبَاطًا, asbāṭan) as nations; and We inspired Moses when his people wanted to drink: "Strike the rock with your staff," thus twelve springs burst forth. Every group knew where from to drink. We shaded them with clouds and We sent down to them manna and quail: "Eat from the good things that We have provided for you." They did not wrong Us, but it was themselves that they wronged.
