The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, named his son Ibrahim as a blessing, after his grandfather Ibrahim, peace be upon him. There is no contradiction between this and his direct father being Abdullah, for a grandfather is called a father in the Arabic language and in the Holy Quran, as in the saying of Yusuf: "And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," and His (Allah's) saying: "As He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac."
