Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), (saying): "Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya (John), confirming (believing in) the Word from Allah [i.e. the creation of 'Iesa (Jesus), the Word from Allah ("Be!" - and he was!)], noble, keeping away from sexual relations with women, a Prophet, from among the righteous."
پس همچنان كه در محراب به نماز ايستاده بود، فرشتگان ندايش دادند: خدا تو را به يحيى بشارت مى‌دهد. او كلمه خدا را تصديق مى كند و خود مهترى است بيزار از زنان و پيامبرى است از شايستگان.
