Word by word

وَمَرْيَمَ ٱبْنَتَ عِمْرَٰنَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَـٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِتِينَ

And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of ʿImrān, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel [i.e., Gabriel], and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.

وضرب الله مثلا للذين آمنوا مريم بنت عمران التي حفظت فرجها، وصانته عن الزنى، فأمر الله تعالى جبريل عليه السلام أن ينفخ في جيب قميصها، فوصلت النفخة إلى رحمها، فحملت بعيسى عليه السلام، وصدَّقت بكلمات ربها، وعملت بشرائعه التي شرعها لعباده، وكتبه المنزلة على رسله، وكانت من المطيعين له.
