The story of Maryam's Birth Part 3

THE STORY OF MARYAM'S BIRTH PART 3

Prophet Zakariyyah's Alyhis Salaam Sponsership of Maryam 'Alyhaa Salaam

Ibn Jarir recorded that Ikrimah said,

"Maryam's mother left with Maryam, carrying her in her infant cloth, and took her to the rabbis from the offspring of Aaron, the brother of Musa. They were responsible for taking care of Bayt Al-Maqdis (the Masjid) at that time, just as there were those who took care of the Kabah.

Maryam's mother said to them, Take this child whom I vowed (to serve the Masjid), I have set her free, since she is my daughter, for no menstruating woman should enter the Masjid, and I shall not take her back home.'

They said, She is the daughter of our Imam,' as Imran used to lead them in prayer, who took care of our sacrificial rituals.'

Zakariyya said, Give her to me, for her maternal aunt is my wife.'

They said, Our hearts cannot bear that you take her, for she is the daughter of our Imam.' So they conducted a lottery with the pens with which they wrote the Tawrah, and Zakariyya won the lottery and took Maryam into his care."'

 

Ikrimah, As-Suddi, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi bin Anas, and several others said that;

 

the rabbis went into the Jordan river and conducted a lottery there, deciding to throw their pens into the river. The pen that remained afloat and idle would indicate that its owner would take care of Maryam.

 

When they threw their pens into the river, the water took all the pens under, except Zakariyya's pen, which remained afloat in its place.

 

Zakariyya was also their master, chief, scholar, Imam and Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be on him and the rest of the Prophets
