Original Arabic text
Published English translation
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim his father all from ibn Mahbub from al-Ri’ab from Abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who said: “Allah, the Most High, revealed to ʿImrān: “I will grant you a righteous and blessed son who will cure the blind and the leper and bring the dead back to life by Allah’s permission. I will make him a messenger to the Children of Israel.” ʿImrān conveyed this to his wife, Ḥannah, the mother of Maryam. When she became pregnant, she assumed the child in her womb was a boy. However, when she gave birth, she said: “O my Lord, I have delivered a female.” Allah says: “And the male is not like the female,” meaning that a daughter cannot be a messenger. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, affirms: “And Allah knows best what she delivered.” <br>When Allah granted Maryam her son, ʿĪsā, he was the fulfillment of the glad tidings and promise given to ʿImrān. Thus, if we mention something about a man among us and it comes to pass in his offspring or their descendants, do not find it strange.”
