“O John, take the Book with confidence.”
And We gave him authority while in his youth. And tenderness from Us, and purity, and he was ever righteous. And dutiful to his parents, and never was he a disobedient tyrant. And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is resurrected alive.
And relate in the Book, Mary, when she withdrew herself from her family to a place which was to the east.
