According to some Islamic traditions, Maryam (Mary) became pregnant after consuming heavenly dates brought to her by Archangel Gabriel.
Specifically, the reference to Imam Musa al- Kazim mentions that Archangel Gabriel brought Maryam "Safran" – a type of heavenly dates. The consumption of these dates is described as the means by which she conceived.
It's important to note that this explanation is found within specific Islamic traditions and interpretations. The Quran itself describes Maryam's conception as a divine miracle, without explicitly detailing the physical means through which it occurred. Other interpretations focus on the divine breath or word from God entering Maryam. The date explanation provides a more tangible, albeit still divinely ordained, understanding of the event.
