Transliteration:( Wa innahum 'indanaa laminal mustafainal akhyaar )
"And surely they are chosen [94] and the best in Our Sight."
This verse affirms that Hazrat Ebrahim, Hazrat Ishaaq, and Hazrat Yaqub (peace be upon them) were among the specially chosen and most beloved servants of Allah. They were entirely devoted to Allah, and in turn, Allah made them exclusively His.
The phrase signifies that those who truly seek closeness to Allah should do so through the spiritual path and knowledge of these Prophets, for their every statement and action is approved by Allah.
This also implies a powerful warning — to criticize or mock any act or teaching of a Prophet is a grave sin and an act of disbelief, as their actions are divinely guided and beloved to Allah Almighty.
