Al Imran

HR Background

فَنَادَتْهُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ وَ هُوَ قَآىٕمٌ یُّصَلِّیْ فِی الْمِحْرَابِۙ-اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یُبَشِّرُكَ بِیَحْیٰى مُصَدِّقًۢا بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ سَیِّدًا وَّ حَصُوْرًا وَّ نَبِیًّا مِّنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ(39)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

So the Angels called to him while he stood praying in his chamber of prayer, “Indeed Allah gives you glad tidings of Yaḥyā, one who will confirm a Word (ʿĪsā) from Allah[1] and will be a leader; and one who forever refrains from women, and a Prophet among the righteous.”

Commentary

[1]

The place where the mercy of Allah Almighty has descended should be a site of supplication; the place where Sayyidatuna Maryam رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا was granted sustenance from the unseen was the area where Prophet Zakariyyā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام supplicated. The same concept applies to supplicating near the Ka‘bah, the blessed Prophetic and Saintly shrines, and other sacred sites as the mercy of Allah descends upon these places.
