قالَت إِنّي أَعوذُ بِالرَّحمـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا

She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."

قالَ إِنَّما أَنا رَسولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلامًا زَكِيًّا

He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."

قالَت أَنّىٰ يَكونُ لي غُلامٌ وَلَم يَمسَسني بَشَرٌ وَلَم أَكُ بَغِيًّا

She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

قالَ كَذٰلِكِ قالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجعَلَهُ آيَةً لِلنّاسِ وَرَحمَةً مِنّا ۚ وَكانَ أَمرًا مَقضِيًّا

He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "

فَحَمَلَتهُ فَانتَبَذَت بِهِ مَكانًا قَصِيًّا

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

فَناداها مِن تَحتِها أَلّا تَحزَني قَد جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحتَكِ سَرِيًّا

But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.

وَهُزّي إِلَيكِ بِجِذعِ النَّخلَةِ تُساقِط عَلَيكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا

And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.

فَكُلي وَاشرَبي وَقَرّي عَينًا ۖ فَإِمّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ البَشَرِ أَحَدًا فَقولي إِنّي نَذَرتُ لِلرَّحمـٰنِ صَومًا فَلَن أُكَلِّمَ اليَومَ إِنسِيًّا

So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "

فَأَتَت بِهِ قَومَها تَحمِلُهُ ۖ قالوا يا مَريَمُ لَقَد جِئتِ شَيئًا فَرِيًّا

Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.

يا أُختَ هارونَ ما كانَ أَبوكِ امرَأَ سَوءٍ وَما كانَت أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّا

O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."
