they made ishmael the son of two nonarabs an arab because god almighty created his uvula with clear arabic not through instruction or arrangement then created him with amazing eloquence not through infatuation or estimation and stripped his nature of the natures of the nonarabs and transferred those parts to his body and assembled him by invention according to that composition and made him that arrangement and molded him in that molding then endowed him with their natures and granted him from their morals and characteristics and made him from their generosity pride and concern in the most generous and possible and most honorable and highest and made that proof of his message and evidence of his prophethood so he was more deserving of that lineage and more deserving of the honor of that lineage.
وقد جعلوا إسماعيل وهو ابن عجميين عربيا؛ لأن الله تعالى فتق لهاته بالعربية المبينة على غير التلقين والترتيب، ثم فطره على الفصاحة العجيبة على غير النشو والتقدير، وسلخ طباعه من طبائع العجم، ونقل إلى بدنه تلك الأجزاء، وركبه اختراعا على ذلك التركيب، وسواه تلك التسوية، وصاغه تلك الصياغة، ثم حباه من طبائعهم، ومنحه من أخلاقهم وشمائلهم، وطبعه من كرمهم وأنفتهم وهمهم على أكرمها وأمكنها، وأشرفها وأعلاها، وجعل ذلك برهانا على رسالته، ودليلا على نبوته؛ فكان أحق بذلك النسب، وأولى بشرف ذلك الحسب.
