وَ قَالَتْ لِاُخْتِهٖ قُصِّیْهِ ؗ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهٖ عَنْ جُنُبٍ وَّ هُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَۙ۝۱۱

She told his sister: "Follow him." So she kept an eye on him from a distance, unbeknown to them.

وَ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَیْهِ الْمَرَاضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَتْ هَلْ اَدُلُّكُمْ عَلٰۤی اَهْلِ بَیْتٍ یَّكْفُلُوْنَهٗ لَكُمْ وَ هُمْ لَهٗ نٰصِحُوْنَ۝۱۲

We made (Moses) refuse a wet nurse. So his sister said: "Should I tell you of a household that could bring him up for you and take care of him?"

فَرَدَدْنٰهُ اِلٰۤی اُمِّهٖ كَیْ تَقَرَّ عَیْنُهَا وَ لَا تَحْزَنَ وَ لِتَعْلَمَ اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۠۝۱۳

Thus We restored him to his mother that she may be tranquil and not grieve, and know that the promise of God is true, though most men do not know.

وَ لَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ وَ اسْتَوٰۤی اٰتَیْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّ عِلْمًا ؕ وَ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ۝۱۴

When he had grown up to full maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We recompense the doers of good.

وَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِیْنَةَ عَلٰی حِیْنِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ اَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِیْهَا رَجُلَیْنِ یَقْتَتِلٰنِ ؗۗ هٰذَا مِنْ شِیْعَتِهٖ وَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖ ۚ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِیْ مِنْ شِیْعَتِهٖ عَلَی الَّذِیْ مِنْ عَدُوِّهٖ ۙ فَوَكَزَهٗ مُوْسٰی فَقَضٰی عَلَیْهِ ؗۗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّیْطٰنِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ۝۱۵

He came to the city when the people were in a care-free mood, and saw two men quarrelling, one belonging to his community, the other to his enemies. The man who belonged to his community appealed for help against the one who belonged to the enemies. Moses struck him a blow with his fist and finished him off. "This is of Satan´s doing," he said. "He is certainly an enemy and a corrupter."

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِیْ فَاغْفِرْ لِیْ فَغَفَرَ لَهٗ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ۝۱۶

"O Lord," he prayed, "I have done wrong, forgive me." And God forgave him. Verily He is forgiving and kind.

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَاۤ اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَیَّ فَلَنْ اَكُوْنَ ظَهِیْرًا لِّلْمُجْرِمِیْنَ۝۱۷

(Moses) said: "O Lord, as You have been gracious to me I will never aid the guilty."

فَاَصْبَحَ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ خَآىِٕفًا یَّتَرَقَّبُ فَاِذَا الَّذِی اسْتَنْصَرَهٗ بِالْاَمْسِ یَسْتَصْرِخُهٗ ؕ قَالَ لَهٗ مُوْسٰۤی اِنَّكَ لَغَوِیٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ۝۱۸

In the morning he came to the city, fearful and hesitant. Just then he who had asked him for help the day before called out for help (again). "You are indeed a meddlesome fellow," Moses said to him.

فَلَمَّاۤ اَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یَّبْطِشَ بِالَّذِیْ هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَّهُمَا ۙ قَالَ یٰمُوْسٰۤی اَتُرِیْدُ اَنْ تَقْتُلَنِیْ كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًۢا بِالْاَمْسِ ۖۗ اِنْ تُرِیْدُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ جَبَّارًا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا تُرِیْدُ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِیْنَ۝۱۹

Then as he was about to lay hands on the one who was their common enemy, he cried out: "O Moses, do you want to kill me as you killed that person yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and no peacemaker."

وَ جَآءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ اَقْصَا الْمَدِیْنَةِ یَسْعٰی ؗ قَالَ یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِنَّ الْمَلَاَ یَاْتَمِرُوْنَ بِكَ لِیَقْتُلُوْكَ فَاخْرُجْ اِنِّیْ لَكَ مِنَ النّٰصِحِیْنَ۝۲۰

There came a man running from the other part of the city. "O Moses," he said, "the chiefs are deliberating to kill you. Go away from the city. I wish you well."
