23

فَأَجَاءهَا الْمَخَاضُ إِلَى جِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَا لَيْتَنِي مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."

Tafsir

{Then the pains of childbirth brought her to the trunk of the palm tree} so that she could lean on it and give birth. The pregnancy, conception, and birth all happened in one hour. {She said, “Oh!”} to draw attention. {“I wish I had died before this matter and was a thing forgotten.”} Something abandoned, unknown, and not remembered.
