فَنَادَتۡهُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٞ يُصَلِّي فِي ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحۡيَىٰ مُصَدِّقَۢا بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدٗا وَحَصُورٗا وَنَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

Toen hij in zijn gebedskamer in gebed stond riepen de engelen hem, zeggende: “Allah geeft jou het goede bericht van Yahya, gelovend in het woord van Allah: Wees en het was, (d.w.z. Isa zoon van Maryam) edel, zich verre houdend van geslachtsgemeenschap met vrouwen, een profeet en één van de rechtvaardigen.”

So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allah gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from Allah and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous
