Surah Aal-i-Imraan
But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, "And the male is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah]."﴿36﴾
Translation
But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, "And the male is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah]."
Simplified Tafsir
فلما تمَّ حملها ووضعت مولودها قالت: ربِّ إني وضعتها أنثى لا تصلح للخدمة في "بيت المقدس" -والله أعلم بما وضَعَتْ، وسوف يجعل الله لها شأنًا- وقالت: وليس الذكر الذي أردت للخدمة كالأنثى في ذلك؛ لأن الذكر أقوى على الخدمة وأقْوَم بها، وإني سمَّيتها مريم، وإني حصَّنتها بك هي وذريَّتها من الشيطان المطرود من رحمتك.
