51:25  (Angels) entered his presence and said, “Peace!” He said, “Peace!” to the strangers.
51:26  He went to his household and got a fattened calf.
51:27  [He] placed (the roasted calf) before them. He said, “Will you not eat?”
51:28  He began to fear them [because they did not eat]. They said, “Fear not.” They gave him the good news of a knowledgeable son.
