فتبسم ضاحكا من قولها وقال رب اوزعني ان اشكر نعمتك التي انعمت علي وعلى والدي وان اعمل صالحا ترضاه وادخلني برحمتك في عبادك الصالحين ١٩
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًۭا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١٩
فَتَبَسَّمَ
ضَاحِكٗا
مِّن
قَوۡلِهَا
وَقَالَ
رَبِّ
أَوۡزِعۡنِيٓ
أَنۡ
أَشۡكُرَ
نِعۡمَتَكَ
ٱلَّتِيٓ
أَنۡعَمۡتَ
عَلَيَّ
وَعَلَىٰ
وَٰلِدَيَّ
وَأَنۡ
أَعۡمَلَ
صَٰلِحٗا
تَرۡضَىٰهُ
وَأَدۡخِلۡنِي
بِرَحۡمَتِكَ
فِي
عِبَادِكَ
ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
