Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Hud : 72
قَالَتْ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤى ءَاَلِدُ وَ اَنَا عَجُوْزٌ وَّ هٰذَا بَعْلِیْ شَیْخًا١ؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَیْءٌ عَجِیْبٌ
She said: 'Woe is me! 80 Shall I bear a child now that I am an old woman and my husband is well advanced in years. 81 This is indeed strange!'
80. This expression does not, in any way, suggest that Sarah, instead of feeling happy, considered this prediction the foreboding of a calamity. In point of fact the expression is an exclamation to which women, in particular, resort to in a state of wonder and amazement. Thus, what is intended is not what the 81. According to the Bible, Abraham was one hundred years and Sarah ninety years old at that time.
