Surah 3. Al-i'Imran, Ayah 46
| وَيُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلًا وَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- yukallim an- naas fe al- mahd wa- kahl(an) wa- min as.- s.aalih.en |
| Pickthall | : | He will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous. |
| Asad | : | And he shall speak unto men in his cradle,33 and as a grown man, and shall be of the righteous." |
| Malik | : | He will speak to the people in the cradle and in his old age and he will be among the righteous." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." 388 |
Note - 33A metaphorical allusion to the prophetic wisdom which was
to inspire Jesus from a very early age. As regards the
expression min al-muqarrabin ("of those who are drawn
near", i.e., unto God), see 56:11, where the most
excellent among the inmates of paradise are thus
described.
|
Note - 388The ministry of Jesus lasted only about three years, from
30 to 33 years of his age, when in the eyes of his
enemies he was crucified. But the Gospel of Luke (ii. 46)
describes him as disputing with the doctors in the Temple
at the age of 12, and even earlier, as a child, he was
"strong in spirit, filled with wisdom" (Luke ii. 40).
Some apocyphal Gospels describe him as preaching from
infancy.
