Al-Anbiyá 21:90 فاستجبنا له ووهبنا له يحيى واصلحنا له زوجه انهم كانوا يسارعون في الخيرات ويدعوننا رغبا ورهبا وكانوا لنا خاشعين ٩٠
فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا
لَهُۥ
وَوَهَبۡنَا
لَهُۥ
يَحۡيَىٰ
وَأَصۡلَحۡنَا
لَهُۥ
زَوۡجَهُۥٓۚ
إِنَّهُمۡ
كَانُواْ
يُسَٰرِعُونَ
فِي
ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ
وَيَدۡعُونَنَا
رَغَبٗا
وَرَهَبٗاۖ
وَكَانُواْ
لَنَا
خَٰشِعِينَ
