Ayah: 40

قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَٰمٞ وَقَدۡ بَلَغَنِيَ ٱلۡكِبَرُ وَٱمۡرَأَتِي عَاقِرٞۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱللَّهُ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ

(40) He ˹Zakariyyā˺ said: “My Lord, how can I have a boy when old age has overcome me and my wife is barren?” He^[571] said: “Thus Allah does what He wills”.

[571] It is not specified who this reply came from. It is perceivable, however, that God communicated with him through the conduit of an angel. It is also worth noting here that Zachariah did not address the angel or ask him for anything but rather, being fully cognizant that God is ever near and answering of Prayers, directed his Prayers to God and not the intermediary.
