(She bore him) By the chosen one, Abdullah the son of Abdul-MuUalib who saw the evident proof

For the light of Ta-Ha (who was in his loins) was visible on his face

It was then transferred into the protected son (Abdullah) for everyone to see

He (Abdul-Muttalib) is the son of Hashim the Generous Who is the son of Abdu-Manaf, who was the son of Qusayy

His (Qusayy's) father was labeled "The wise"

His affair had been elevated, Indeed the lineage has been strengthened by them

For Gentleness from the Lord of the heavens encompassed her And Barred from her all harm, worry, and sadness

She saw (in a vision), as was narrated to us

That the Guardian (Allah) was going to Honor the Creation

Through the pure one who was in her womb, so she Rejoiced!

And the time for labor drew near, so she was filled with pleasure!

And the lights emanated from all directions
