اذ تمشي اختك فتقول هل ادلكم على من يكفله فرجعناك الى امك كي تقر عينها ولا تحزن وقتلت نفسا فنجيناك من الغم وفتناك فتونا فلبثت سنين في اهل مدين ثم جئت على قدر يا موسى

"Behold! thy sister goeth forth And saith, "Shall I show you One who will nurse And rear the (child)? So We brought thee back To thy mother, that her eye Might be cooled and she Should not grieve. Then thou didst slay A man, but We saved thee From trouble, and We tried Thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry A number of years With the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither As ordained, O Moses!
