ٱلْقَصَص : ١٣

  • فَرَدَدۡنَٰهُ So We restored him
  • إِلَىٰٓ to
  • أُمِّهِۦ his mother
  • كَيۡ that
  • تَقَرَّ might be comforted
  • عَيۡنُهَا her eye
  • وَلَا and not
  • تَحۡزَنَ she may grieve
  • وَلِتَعۡلَمَ and that she would know
  • أَنَّ that
  • وَعۡدَ the Promise of Allah
  • ٱللَّهِ the Promise of Allah
  • حَقّٞ (is) true
  • وَلَٰكِنَّ But
  • أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ most of them
  • لَا (do) not
  • يَعۡلَمُونَ know
So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allāh is true. But most of them [i.e., the people] do not know.
Thus We restored him to his mother so that her eyes might delight, in seeing him [again], and not grieve, thereat, and that she might know that God's promise, to restore him to her, is true; but most of them, that is, the people, do not know, about this promise, or of the fact that this was his sister and the other was his mother. He [Moses] remained with her until he was weaned during which time she was paid wages at one dinar per day. She took this because it was money from enemy territory (harbee). She then brought him [back] to Pharaoh in whose household he was raised, as God recounts of him in soorat al-Shu'araa' [Q. 26:18], Did we not rear you among us as a child, and did you not stay with us for years of your life?
