\n The Prophets -as cast lots upon her -as and Zakariyya -as won the lote, and he -as was husband of her -as sister, and took responsibility for her, and entered her -as into the Masjid. When she -as reached adulthood what the women tend to reach, from the menstruation, and she -as was the most beautiful of the women, and she -as used to pray Salat and the prayer niche would be illuminated due to her -as radiance.

\n Zakariyya -as entered to see her -as , and there in her -as presence were winter fruits in the summer, and summer fruits in the winter. He -as said: \u2018 \u2018From where does this come to you?\u2019 She said: \u2018It is from Allah. [3:37] . So, over there, Zakariyya -as supplicated to his -as Lord -azwj . He -as said: \u2018 And I fear my successors from after me, [19:5] \u2013 up to what Allah -azwj Mentioned from the story of Zakariyya -as and Yahya -as \u2019\u2019.

[11] \n It is reported from Abu Ja\u2019far -asws (5 th Imam): \u2018Allah -azwj Revealed to Imran: \u201cI -azwj shall Grant a male child to you -as , Blessed. He -as will cure the blind and the leper and revive the dead by the Permission of Allah -azwj , and be a Rasool -as to the Children of Israel!\u201d \n He -as informed his -as wife with that, and she -as became pregnant and place Maryam -as . She said, \u2018My Lord!

Surely I have placed a female [3:36] , and the female cannot happen to be a Rasool -as \u2019. And Imran -as said to her -as : \u2018Surely a male can become a Prophet -as \u2019. When she saw that, she said what she said. Allah -azwj Said, and His -azwj Words are the Truth: and Allah was more Knowing of what she placed [3:36] . \n Abu Ja\u2019far -asws said: \u2018That was Isa -as Bin Maryam -as .

So, if we -asws say to you all that the command would happen to be in one of us -asws , it could happen to be in his -asws son -asws , or son -asws of his -asws son -asws , or son -asws of a son -asws of his -asws son -asws . Then, it will be in him -asws , therefore do not be denying that\u2019\u2019.

[12] \n \u2018Al-Sadiq -asws said regarding the Words of the Exalted: And (an example of) Maryam, daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity, [66:12] : \u2018Her -as chastity was guarded before the birth of Isa -as be five hundred years\u2019. \n He -asws said: \u2018The first one to have lots cast upon was Maryam -as Bint Imran -as . Her -as mother vowed whatever was in her belly to be devoted to the synagogue, but she placed it as a female.
