[The wife of ‘Imran said to her Lord-Sustainer after giving birth to Mary] “I have named her Maryam and have enabled her and her offspring to take refuge in You from the accursed Satan” (Qur’an, Surat Al ‘Imran 3:36).
وَإِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهَا مَرْيَمَ وَإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
wa-inni sammaytu-ha maryama wa-inni u’idhu-ha bi-ka wa-dhurriyata-ha min al-shaytan ir-rajim.
