In the Quran

فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍۢ وَأَنۢبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًۭا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا ٱلْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًۭا ۖ قَالَ يَٰمَرْيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَٰذَا ۖ قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

تو پروردگار نے اس کو پسندیدگی کے ساتھ قبول فرمایا اور اسے اچھی طرح پرورش کیا اور زکریا کو اس کا متکفل بنایا زکریا جب کبھی عبادت گاہ میں اس کے پاس جاتے تو اس کے پاس کھانا پاتے (یہ کیفیت دیکھ کر ایک دن مریم سے) پوچھنے لگے کہ مریم یہ کھانا تمہارے پاس کہاں سے آتا ہے وہ بولیں خدا کے ہاں سے (آتا ہے) بیشک خدا جسے چاہتا ہے بے شمار رزق دیتا ہے

And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.
