Surat Hud (71-72)

{وَامْرَأَتُهُ قَآئِمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنَاهَا بِإِسْحَاقَ وَمِن وَرَاء إِسْحَاقَ يَعْقُوبَ} (هود : 71 )

71- The wife of Abraham, Sarah, was serving them, and when she heard that glad tiding, she laughed and gladdened at the destruction of the people of Lot because of their wide corruption, disbelief, and stubbornness. Or she laughed because the fear of her husband had gone after they mentioned they were angels. Some scholars said: The meaning of "Dahikat" is: Had her period as comes in the Arabic Language.

So, we gave her another glad tiding on the tongue of Our Messengers which was a glad tiding of a son and offspring, then we granted Abraham Jacob after Isaac.

{قَالَتْ يَا وَيْلَتَى أَأَلِدُ وَأَنَاْ عَجُوزٌ وَهَـذَا بَعْلِي شَيْخاً إِنَّ هَـذَا لَشَيْءٌ عَجِيبٌ} (هود : 72 )

72- Sarah said: Ha, would I beget a child while I am an old lady and my husband is aged? This is indeed a strange matter because it is contradictory to habit.
