If thou fearest God... He said, 'I am but a messenger come from thy Lord, to give thee a boy most pure.

لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا (to give you a boy - 19:19) Here Sayyidna Jibra'n (علیہ السلام) had attributed to himself the gift of the child because Allah Ta’ ala had sent him in order that he should breathe into her collar, and this breath would be the means of her conceiving the child, whereas in reality this gift was by the act of Allah.
