Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Ali 'Imran 3:38

Word by word

هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهُۥ ۖ قَالَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ

At that, Zechariah called upon his Lord, saying, "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

لما رأى زكريا ، عليه السلام ، أن الله تعالى يرزق مريم ، عليها السلام ، فاكهة الشتاء في الصيف ، وفاكهة الصيف في الشتاء ، طمع حينئذ في الولد ، و [ إن ] كان شيخا كبيرا قد [ ضعف و ] وهن منه العظم ، واشتعل رأسه شيبا ، وإن كانت امرأته مع ذلك كبيرة وعاقرا ، لكنه مع هذا كله سأل ربه وناداه نداء خفيا ، وقال : ( رب هب لي من لدنك ) أي : من عندك ( ذرية طيبة ) أي : ولدا صالحا ( إنك سميع الدعاء ) .
