Qur'an 66:12 At-Tahrim

وَمَرْيَمَ ٱبْنَتَ عِمْرَٰنَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْقَٰنِتِينَ

And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.

What it says

The surah's third example completes the pair begun two verses earlier, moving from a wife defined by the man she asked to be saved from to a woman defined by guarding herself and by belief, with no husband named at all. The breathing into her recalls the same phrase used for the shaping of Adam, life entering matter directly from Allah.
