واذ قالت الملايكة يا مريم ان الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمين ٤٢
وَإِذْ قَالَتِ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَـٰمَرْيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصْطَفَىٰكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٤٢
وَإِذۡ
قَالَتِ
ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ
يَٰمَرۡيَمُ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
ٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ
وَطَهَّرَكِ
وَٱصۡطَفَىٰكِ
عَلَىٰ
نِسَآءِ
ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
٤٢
And ˹remember˺ when the angels said, “O Mary! Surely Allah has selected you, purified you, and chosen you over all women of the world.

Commentary

1. In verse 42, the sentence: وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ (and has chosen you over women of all the worlds) refers to all women in that period of time. Therefore, the statement سیدۃ نسآءِ اھل الجنۃ فاطمۃ (Fatimah is the foremost among women of the Paradise) appearing in hadith does not contradict it.

2. It will be noticed that, in the last sentence of verse 43:

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
