ٱلْقَصَص : ٧

  • وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ And We inspired
  • إِلَىٰٓ [to]
  • أُمِّ (the) mother
  • مُوسَىٰٓ (of) Musa
  • أَنۡ that
  • أَرۡضِعِيهِۖ Suckle him
  • فَإِذَا but when
  • خِفۡتِ you fear
  • عَلَيۡهِ for him
  • فَأَلۡقِيهِ then cast him
  • فِي in(to)
  • ٱلۡيَمِّ the river
  • وَلَا and (do) not
  • تَخَافِي fear
  • وَلَا and (do) not
  • تَحۡزَنِيٓۖ grieve
  • إِنَّا Indeed We
  • رَآدُّوهُ (will) restore him
  • إِلَيۡكِ to you
  • وَجَاعِلُوهُ and (will) make him
  • مِنَ of
  • ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ the Messengers
And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
And We revealed, by inspiration or in a dream, to the mother of Moses - who was the said new-born; his sister was the only other person aware of his birth - 'Suckle him, then, when you fear for him, cast him into the waters, namely, the Nile, and do not fear, that he should drown, or grieve, for being separated from him, for We will restore him to you and make him one of the messengers'. She suckled him for three months during which he never cried. She then began to fear for him and so she placed him in a basket coated with pitch and made as a cradle for him on the inside. She then closed it and cast it into the waters of the Nile at night.
