3.68 – Surely the people nearest to Abraham are those indeed who followed him, and this prophet
References to “the prophet” do not occur frequently in the Quran, and most of the occurrences come in Sūras 8; 9; 33; and 66. The expression “this prophet” – implying the speaker of this polemic against the People of the Book – appears only here in the Quran. See an analysis of “the prophet” at 66.9.
