Commentary
He said: 'Make for me a sign by which I may know the occurrence of what you have given me good tidings of.' He said: 'Your sign is that you will be unable to speak, while you are sound in your limbs and of good appearance; you are neither mute nor deaf.' The mention of the nights here, and the days in Al-Imran, indicates that the inability to speak continued for three days and their nights.
