يَا زَكَرِيَّا
إِنَّا
نُبَشِّرُكَ
بِغُلَامٍ
اسْمُهُ
يَحْيَى
لَمْ
نَجْعَل
لَّهُ
مِن
قَبْلُ
سَمِيًّا
yā-zakariyyā ʾinnā nubashshiruka bi-ghulāmin-i smuhū yaḥyā lam najʿal lahū min qablu samiyyan
(His prayer was answered): "O Zakariya! We give thee good news of a son: His name shall be Yahya: on none by that name have We conferred distinction before."
— Abdullah Yusufali
‘O Zechariah! Indeed We give you the good news of a son, whose name is ‘‘John.’’ Never before have We made anyone his namesake.’
