Maryam Verse 18

She appealed, “I truly seek refuge in the Most Compassionate from you! ˹So leave me alone˺ if you are God-fearing.”

She said, “I seek refuge in the Most Compassionate from you; [do not approach me] if you fear Allah.”

She said, 'I take refuge in the All-merciful from thee!

She said, ‘I seek the Lord of Mercy’s protection against you: if you have any fear of Him [do not approach]!’

She said: verily seek refuge with the Compassionate from thee if thou art God-fearing.

She said; "I seek refuge from thee to (Allah) Most Gracious; (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah."

Mary exclaimed: "I surely take refuge from you with the Most Compassionate Lord, if you are at all God-fearing."

"I seek refuge in the Merciful from you, if you fear Him," she said.

She said, “I seek the refuge of the Most Gracious from you – if you fear God.”

She said, ‘I seek the protection of the All-beneficent from you, should you be Godwary!’

She said: "I seek refuge in the All-Merciful from you, if you are a pious, God-conscious one."

Mary said, `I invoke the Most Gracious (God) to defend me from you. If you guard the least against evil (leave me alone).´

She said: "That I, I seek protection by the merciful from you, if you were fearing and obeying."

She said, "I seek the refuge of the Most Gracious from you - if you fear God."

And she took a veil (to screen herself) from them; and We sent unto her Our Angel (or spirit); and he assumed for her the semblance of a perfect man.

She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah."

So she screened herself from them. Then We sent to her Our spirit and it appeared to her as a well-made man.

She said: Surely I fly for refuge from you to the Beneficent Allah, if you are one guarding (against evil).

She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if thou art Allah-fearing.

Mary said, "Would that the Beneficent God would protect me from you. Leave me alone if you are a God fearing person".

(And when she saw him) she said: 'I take refuge in the Merciful from you! If you are fearful'

She said: "Verily, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah."

When she saw him, she said, "I seek refuge in the compassionate God from you; [do not come near] if you fear the Lord."

She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.”

She said, `Lo! I seek refuge in the Compassionate One from you! If you fear God', and leave me alone on account of my invocation of refuge in God.

She said;"Verily, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious from you, if you do fear Allah."

This means that when the angel (Jibril) appeared to her in the form of a man, while she was in a place secluded by herself with a partition between her and her people, she was afraid of him and thought that he wanted to rape her. Therefore, she said,
إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَن مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا
(Verily, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious from you, if you do fear Allah).

She meant, "If you fear Allah," as a means of reminding him of Allah.

This is what is legislated in defense against (evil), so that it may be repulsed with ease.

Therefore, the first thing she did was try to make him fear Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.

Ibn Jarir reported from Asim that Abu Wa'il said when mentioning the story of Maryam,

"She knew that the pious person would refrain (from committing evil) when she said,
إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَن مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا
("Verily, I seek refuge with the Most Gracious from you, if you do fear Allah.
