Surah Al-A'raf Ayah 189

۞ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا ۖ فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّىٰهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِۦ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَثْقَلَت دَّعَوَا ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ ءَاتَيْتَنَا صَـٰلِحًا لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ

In Saheeh International's English translation, Quran 7:189 says: “It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he<sup foot_note=196355>1</sup> might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her,<sup foot_note=196354>2</sup> she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good<sup foot_note=196353>3</sup> [child], we will surely be among the grateful."”
