These are tidings of the hidden, which We secretly reveal to you (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him); and you were not present with them when they threw their pens to draw lots, to know who should be the guardian of Maryam; nor were you present with them when they were quarrelling. (Yet you know of these things – this is a proof of your being a Prophet.)
اين از خبرهاى نهان- غيب- است كه به تو وحى مى‌كنيم و تو نزد آنان نبودى آنگاه كه قلمهاى خويش [به قرعه‌] مى‌افكندند كه كدامشان سرپرست مريم شود و تو نزدشان نبودى آنگاه كه ستيزه و كشمكش مى‌كردند.
