فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ ۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَـٰمٍ عَلِيمٍ Qur’an Az-Zariyat (51:28)
Faawjasa minhum kheefatan q a loo l a takhaf wabashsharoohu bighul a min AAaleem in
[And when he saw that the guests would not eat,] he became apprehensive of them;18 [but] they said, "Fear not" - and gave him the glad tiding of [the birth of] a son who would be endowed with deep knowledge.19

See note [101] on 11:70 .

I.e., with prophethood (cf. 15:53 ).

When he saw them not eating, he became afraid of them. They said: "Have no fear," and they gave him good news of a son endowed with knowledge.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'They did not eat,' so he grew fearful of them.1 They reassured 'him', 'Do not be afraid,' and gave him good news of a knowledgeable son.2
  - Mustafa Khattab

 As mentioned in 11:69-70, the angels came to Abraham in the form of men and when he offered them food, they did not eat. In ancient Middle Eastern culture, if a guest refused to eat the food provided by their host, it was a sign of ill-will.

 Prophet Isaac (ﷺ).

Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.
