˹Remember˺ when they entered his presence and greeted ˹him with˺, “Peace!” He replied, “Peace ˹be upon you˺!” ˹Then he said to himself,˺ “˹These are˺ an unfamiliar people.”

Then he slipped off to his family and brought a fat ˹roasted˺ calf,¹

and placed it before them, asking, “Will you not eat?”

˹They did not eat,˺ so he grew fearful of them.¹ They reassured ˹him˺, “Do not be afraid,” and gave him good news of a knowledgeable son.²

Then his wife came forward with a cry, clasping her forehead ˹in astonishment˺, exclaiming, “˹A baby from˺ a barren, old woman!”

They replied, “Such has your Lord decreed. He is truly the All-Wise, All-Knowing.”
