وَمَرْيَمَ ٱبْنَتَ عِمْرَٰنَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَـٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِتِينَ ﴿12﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And Maryam (Mary), the daughter of ‘Imrân who guarded her chastity. And We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or her garment) through Our Rûh [i.e. Jibrîl (Gabriel)], and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord [i.e. believed in the Words of Allâh: "Be!" - and he was; that is ‘Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) as a Messenger of Allâh], and (also believed in) His Scriptures, and she was of the Qânitûn (i.e. obedient to Allâh).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
12. 1 The purpose of mentioning Maryam (علیہا السلام) is to state that despite living among a corrupt people, Allah honored her with dignity and nobility in this world and the Hereafter, and granted her superiority over all the women of the worlds.
12. 2 By the words of her Lord are meant the divine laws.
12. 3 That is, she was among those people or from a family who were obedient, devoted worshippers, and distinguished in righteousness and obedience. In the hadith, it is stated that the most virtuous women of Paradise are Khadijah, Fatimah, Maryam, and Asiyah, the wife of Pharaoh (may Allah be pleased with them). (Musnad Ahmad) In another hadith, it is said that many men attained perfection, but among women, only Asiyah, the wife of Pharaoh, Maryam bint Imran, and Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (may Allah be pleased with them) attained perfection, and the superiority of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) over women is like the superiority of tharid over all foods. Sahih Bukhari.
