This verse and the one before it talk about Abraham and Sarah when Gabriel and the angels with him granted them with the good tiding of the birth of Isaac, the verses say:



 Then his wife, Sarah, came forward clamoring, shouting  and smote, slapped, her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman!', who has never given birth to a child, aged ninety-nine, with Abraham being one hundred years old; or [alternatively] he was a hundred and twenty years old and she was ninety years old.



In other words, his wife Sarah came forward making moan and wailing, and smote her face; she gathered the extremities of her fingers and hit her face and forehead, (and cried: A barren old woman!) A barren old woman giving birth, how is this possible?



Gabriel and the angels with him said:



So, just like what we have said with regard to the good tiding, has your Lord, Allah said. Indeed He is the Wise, in His actions, He decrees the birth of children from those who are barren and those who are not, He is the Knower, of His creatures; He Knows what will come out of both you in the future.
