And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You].”

We have not assigned to any before [this] name.”(7) He said, “My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age? (8) [An angel] said, “Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.’ ” (9) [Zechariah] said, “My Lord, make for me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound.”(10) So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [ Allah ] in the morning and afternoon.
