Kāf, Hā, Yā, ʿAyn, Ṣād.^[806]

[806] See footnote to 2:1.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

ذِكۡرُ رَحۡمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبۡدَهُۥ زَكَرِيَّآ

[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ نِدَآءً خَفِيّٗا

When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ ٱلۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّي وَٱشۡتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأۡسُ شَيۡبٗا وَلَمۡ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيّٗا

He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled^[807] with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy [i.e., disappointed].

[807] Literally, "ignited." The spread of white hair throughout the head is likened to that of fire in the bush.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

وَإِنِّي خِفۡتُ ٱلۡمَوَٰلِيَ مِن وَرَآءِي وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا فَهَبۡ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيّٗا

And indeed, I fear the successors^[808] after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

[808] Those relatives from the father's side who would inherit religious authority.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 6

يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنۡ ءَالِ يَعۡقُوبَۖ وَٱجۡعَلۡهُ رَبِّ رَضِيّٗا

Who will inherit me^[809] and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

[809] Inherit from me religious knowledge and prophethood.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 7

يَٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ ٱسۡمُهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ لَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ سَمِيّٗا

[He was told],^[810] "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."

[810] By Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) through the angels.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 8

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَكَانَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٗا وَقَدۡ بَلَغۡتُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِبَرِ عِتِيّٗا

He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 9

قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٞ وَقَدۡ خَلَقۡتُكَ مِن قَبۡلُ وَلَمۡ تَكُ شَيۡـٔٗا

[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.'"

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 10

قَالَ رَبِّ ٱجۡعَل لِّيٓ ءَايَةٗۖ قَالَ ءَايَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ ٱلنَّاسَ ثَلَٰثَ لَيَالٖ سَوِيّٗا

[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."^[811]

[811] i.e., without illness or defect.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 11

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ أَن سَبِّحُواْ بُكۡرَةٗ وَعَشِيّٗا

So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon.
