Surah At-Tahrim (66) — Ayah 12
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 Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

12. And (the example of) Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her chastity [24]. Then We breathed into her of Our spirit [25], and she confirmed the words [26] of her Lord and His scriptures, and she was among the devoutly obedient [27].
[24] That is, she did not have any husband. Thus, Lady Maryam preserved her chastity in both lawful and unlawful circumstances and remained pure.
[25] That is, a spirit was breathed into her through an angel. Sayyiduna Jibreel ؑ blew into her collar, as a result of which conception took place. From this conception, Sayyiduna Isa ؑ was born. This story has already been mentioned in great detail in the second ruku of Surah Maryam.
[26] By this are meant the words that the angels spoke to Lady Maryam. The details of the conversation between the angels and Lady Maryam have already been mentioned in the fifth ruku of Surah Aal-e-Imran. Thus, she submitted herself to the severe trial that Allah had decided for her. And it was because of this that she attained this great status. And by the Books of Allah, it could mean the Torah, the Gospel, or the previous scriptures. Thus, Lady Maryam affirmed all these books.
[27] One meaning of this is that Lady Maryam performed the obedience and worship of Allah with full humility, complete attention, and satisfaction of the heart. The second meaning is that her entire family, to which she belonged, was also like this.
