وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ قَآئِمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنَـٰهَا بِإِسْحَـٰقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَـٰقَ يَعْقُوبَ

وامرأة إبراهيم -سارة- كانت قائمة من وراء الستر تسمع الكلام، فضحكت تعجبًا مما سمعت، فبشرناها على ألسنة الملائكة بأنها ستلد مِن زوجها إبراهيم ولدًا يسمى إسحاق، وسيعيش ولدها، وسيكون لها بعد إسحاق حفيد منه، وهو يعقوب.
