Al-Anbiya 21:90 فاستجبنا له ووهبنا له يحيى واصلحنا له زوجه انهم كانوا يسارعون في الخيرات ويدعوننا رغبا ورهبا وكانوا لنا خاشعين ٩٠

Chapter 21, Page 329, Juz 17

85. And (remember) Isma'il, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and patience; 86. We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones. 87. And remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the deptHs of darkness, "There is no god but thou: glory to thee: I was indeed wrong!" 88. So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith. 89. And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: "O my Lord! leave me not without offspring, though thou art the best of inheritors." 90. So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's (Barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves before Us. 91. And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.
