Commemorate the beneficence of your Lord on Zachariah, His devotee,

To be observed and commemorated by every devotee turning (to Allah).

We bestowed Solomon on David who was an excellent devotee, for he turned to God in penitence.

When the devotee of God stood up to invoke Him (the jinns) crowded upon him (to listen).

Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd.

O ye that are sprung from those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Verily he was a devotee most grateful.

Take a handful of herbs, (We said to him), and apply and rub them, and do not make a mistake. We found him patient in adversity, an excellent devotee, always turning in repentance.
