مَرْيَم : ٣

  • إِذۡ When
  • نَادَىٰ he called
  • رَبَّهُۥ (to) his Lord
  • نِدَآءً a call
  • خَفِيّٗا secret
When he called to his Lord a private call [i.e., supplication].
when (idh is semantically connected to rahma, 'mercy') he called out to his Lord a call, entailing a supplication, in secret, in the middle of the night, because this [time of the night] invites a faster [to one's supplication].
