Stories of the ProphetsA prophet who was the guardian of Maryam (Mary). He called upon his Lord secretly to grant him an heir to inherit from him, though he had reached old age and his wife was barren. So Allah gave him the glad tidings of Yahya (John), and made his sign that he would not speak to people for three nights while being sound (in health).
