The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be upon you, O People of the House! Lo! He is Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory!

Commentary

Yaa-way-lataaa – (Oh woe is me), meanings of the words “way-lun” and “way-latun” are “woe, heavy calamity, sorrow, an exclamation of grief, ruin and depravity etc. Actually this word is Yaa-way-lataa-hu, as though; someone calls to his misfortune and harm. When a person hears suddenly about any uncommon matter, he talks incoherently and such words come out from his mouth which have no meanings save it that he uses the words astonished with wonder.

The name of the wife of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them) was Saarah. They had no child. However They were desiring of children always. Saarah was very aged woman at that time. When the Angels (peace be upon them) gave good tidings of a son, there was no limit of wonder and she spoke immediately without thinking: Oh woe is me! In this age, I shall bear a child while I am an old woman and my husband is also an old man. It is a wonderful thing.

The Angels (peace be upon them) answered: What is strange in it? Your house is such a place where Mercy and Blessings of Allah Almighty are sent down usually, and nothing is out of His Control.
