Read in Context

16. (O Muhammad), recite in the Book the account of Mary, when she withdrew from her people to a place towards the east; 17. and drew a curtain, screening herself from people whereupon We sent to her Our spirit and he appeared to her as a well-shaped man. 18. Mary exclaimed: "I surely take refuge from you with the Most Compassionate Lord, if you are at all God-fearing." 19. He said: "I am just a message-bearer of your Lord, I have come to grant you a most pure boy." 20. Mary said: "How can a boy be born to me when no man has even touched me, nor have I ever been unchaste?" 21. The angel said: "Thus shall it be. Your Lord says: 'It is easy for Me; and We shall do so in order to make him a Sign for mankind and a mercy from Us. This has been decreed.' " 22. Then she conceived him and withdrew with him to a far-off place. 23. Then the birth pangs drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree and she said: "Oh, would that I had died before this and had been all forgotten." 24. Thereupon the angel below her cried out: "Grieve not, for your Lord has caused a stream of water to flow beneath you. 25. Shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards yourself and fresh and ripe dates shall fall upon you. 26. So eat and drink and cool your eyes; and if you see any person say to him: 'Verily I have vowed a fast to the Most Compassionate Lord, and so I shall not speak to anyone today.' "
