She said: "O my Lord!

Behold! I am delivered

And I commend her

And her offspring

To Thy protection

From the Evil One,

The Rejected.

Did her Lord accept her:


He made her grow

In purity and beauty:

To the care of Zakarya

Was she assigned.

Every time that he entered

(Her) chamber to see her,

He found her supplied

With sustenance. He said:


"O Mary! Whence (comes) this

To you?" She said:


"From God: for God

Provides sustenance

To whom He pleases,

Without measure.

While he was standing

In prayer in the chamber,

The angels called unto him:


"God doth give thee

Glad tidings of Yay,

Witnessing the truth

Besides
) noble, chaste,

And a Prophet,

Of the (goodly) company

Of the righteous.

Seeing I am very old,

And my wife is barren?"

What He willeth,
"

He said: "O my Lord!

Give me a Sign!"

"Thy Sign, "was the answer,

"Shall be that thou

Shalt speak to no man

For three days

But with signals.

Then celebrate

The praises of thy Lord

Again and again,

And glorify Him

In the evening

And in the morning."
