6. And to establish them in the earth, and to make Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts see from them that which they feared. 7. And WE directed the mother of Moses by revelation, `Suckle him; and when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve; for WE shall restore him to thee, and shall make him one of the Messengers.' 8. She did accordingly and one of the family of Pharaoh picked him up so that he became for them an enemy and a source of sorrow. Verily, Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were wrongdoers. 9. And Pharaoh's wife said, `He will be a joy of the eye for me and for thee. Slay him not. Haply he may prove to be useful for us, or we may adopt him as a son.' And they knew not Our purpose. 10. And the heart of the mother of Moses became free from anxiety. She had almost disclosed his identity, were it not that WE had strengthen her heart so that she might be of the firm believers. 11. And she said to his sister, `Follow him up.' So she observed him from afar; and they were unaware of this. 12. And WE had already decreed that he shall refuse the wet-nurse; so she said, `Shall I direct you to the people of a household who will bring him up for you and will be his sincere well-wishers ?' 13. Thus WE restored him to his mother that her eye might be gladdened and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of ALLAH is true. But most of people know not. |
