فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْهَا قَالَتْ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ وَضَعْتُهَاۤ اُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتْ ؕ وَلَیْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالْاُ ۚ وَاِنِّیْ سَمَّیْتُهَا مَرْیَمَ وَاِنِّیْۤ اُعِیْذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّیَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِیْمِ ۟

Saheeh International

But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allāh was most knowing of what she delivered, and the male is not like the female. "And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allāh]."

Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir

When she reached the end of her pregnancy and gave birth she was astonished – as she had hoped for a boy – and she said, ‘O Lord, I have given birth to a girl’. Allah knows what she gave birth to. Of course, a girl does not have the same strength and form as a boy that she had hoped for. She said, ‘I have named her Mary and I ask for Your mercy in protecting her and her children from the rejected Satan’.
