I thought the "baby in the cradle" was just an expression for a young youth meaning he is too young to answer us....how would a baby speak if he was actually still in the cradle age...and what kind of voice would he have...
Is that incredible to you even after he(as) was born WITHOUT a father?
After Gibrial(as) gave Mary(as) the news that she will give birth to a boy she went off to a far place. After the birth she came back upon which the people of the town slandered her. She pointed towards the baby and he testified himself. He indeed was still a baby. not a child.
