What’s your explanation for Muhammad’s Quran erroneously having undoubtedly-Ishmael-- not Isaac-- be the son of Abraham that was slated to be sacrificed?
Quran, Arberry translation, https://archive.org/stream/QuranAJArberr...y_djvu.txt
37:95 They said, 'Build him a building, and cast him into the furnace!' They desired to outwit him; so We made them the lower ones. He said, 'I am going to my Lord; He will guide me. My Lord, give me one of the righteous.' Then We gave him the good tidings of a prudent boy; 37:100 and when he had reached the age of running with him, he said, *'My son, I see in a dream that I shall sacrifice thee;* consider, what thinkest thou?' He said, 'My father, do as thou art bidden; thou shalt find me, God willing, one of the steadfast.' When they had surrendered, and *he flung him upon his brow, We called unto him, Abraham, 37:105 thou hast confirmed the vision;* even so We recompense the good-doers. This is indeed the manifest trial.' And We ransomed him with a mighty sacrifice, and left for him among the later folk 'Peace be upon Abraham!' 37:110 Even so We recompense the good-doers; he was among Our believing servants. *Then We gave him the good tidings of Isaac,* a Prophet, one of the righteous. And We blessed him, and Isaac; and of their seed some are good-doers, and some manifest self-wrongers.
Genesis 22:2 (Brenton Septuagint), https://biblehub.com/sep/genesis/22.htm
And he said, *Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering* on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
DSS: its Genesis 22 material lacks any mention of the name of the son to be sacrificed-- lost to the sands of time.

XXII. …. Izhak responded and said, Behold now, to-day I am thirty and six years old; and if the Holy One, blessed be He, were to require all my members, I would not delay. These words were heard before the Lord of the world, and *the Word of the Lord at once tried Abraham, and said to him, Abraham!* And he said, Behold me. [JERUSALEM. And it was after these things that the Lord tried Abraham with the tenth trial, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me.] *And He said, Take now thy son, thy only one whom thou lovest, Izhak, and go into the land of worship, and offer him there, a whole burnt offering,* upon one of the mountains that I will tell thee. [JERUSALEM. At Mount Moriah.] And Abraham rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and took two young men with him, Eliezer and Ishmael, and Izhak his son, and cut the small wood and the figs and the palm, which are provided for the whole burnt offering, and arose and went to the land of which the Lord had told him.
