ولقد أرسلنا نوحا وإبراهيم وجعلنا في ذريتهما النبوة والكتاب

فمنهم مهتد وكثير منهم فاسقون

Allah the Exalted states that since He sent Nuh, peace be upon him, all the Prophets and Messengers He sent after that were from his offspring. All the revealed Divine Books and all the Messengers that received revelation after Ibrahim, Allah's Khalil, peace be upon him, were from Ibrahim's offspring. Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah:

وجعلنا فى ذريته النبوة والكتب
