He replied, “You have been granted your request, O Moses!

وَلَقَد مَنَنّا عَلَيكَ مَرَّةً أُخرىٰ

إِذ أَوحَينا إِلىٰ أُمِّكَ ما يوحىٰ

When We inspired your mother with Our message:

أَنِ اقذِفيهِ فِي التّابوتِ فَاقذِفيهِ فِي اليَمِّ فَليُلقِهِ اليَمُّ بِالسّاحِلِ يَأخُذهُ عَدُوٌّ لي وَعَدُوٌّ لَهُ ۚ وَأَلقَيتُ عَلَيكَ مَحَبَّةً مِنّي وَلِتُصنَعَ عَلىٰ عَيني

“Put him in a chest and cast it into the river. The river will wash him ashore, where an enemy of Mine and his will take him.” I bestowed upon you love from Me, so that you would be nurtured under My watchful eye.
