Tafsir of An-Nahl 16:123

ثم أوحينا إليك أن اتبع ملة إبراهيم حنيفا

Then, We have sent the revelation to you: "Follow the religion of Ibrahim (he was a) Hanif... meaning, `because of his perfection, greatness, and the soundness of his Tawhid and his way, We revealed to you, O Seal of the Messengers and Leader of the Prophets,'

أن اتبع ملة إبراهيم حنيفا وما كان من المشركين

Follow the religion of Ibrahim (he was a) Hanif and he was not of the idolators. This is like the Ayah in Surah Al-An`am:

قل إننى هدانى ربى إلى صرط مستقيم دينا قيما ملة إبراهيم حنيفا وما كان من المشركين

Say: "Truly, my Lord has guided me to a straight path, a right religion, the religion of Ibrahim, (he was a) Hanif and he was not of the idolators.'' (6:161)
