[Machine] "O Lord, indeed my bones have weakened and my head has turned gray with age, and I have never been deprived in my supplication to You, O Lord. And indeed, I fear my kinsmen after me, and my wife has been barren, so grant me from Yourself an heir who will inherit from me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing to You."

(And the angels called to him) while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allah gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from Allah and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous." He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?" [An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.'"
