40
إِذ تَمشي أُختُكَ فَتَقولُ هَل أَدُلُّكُم عَلىٰ مَن يَكفُلُهُ ۖ فَرَجَعناكَ إِلىٰ أُمِّكَ كَي تَقَرَّ عَينُها وَلا تَحزَنَ ۚ وَقَتَلتَ نَفسًا فَنَجَّيناكَ مِنَ الغَمِّ وَفَتَنّاكَ فُتونًا ۚ فَلَبِثتَ سِنينَ في أَهلِ مَديَنَ ثُمَّ جِئتَ عَلىٰ قَدَرٍ يا موسىٰ

M. M. Ghali

As your sister walked about, (and) so said, ‘"Shall I indicate to you one to sponsor him?"' So We returned you to your mother so that she might comfort her eye (Literally: that her eye might settle down) and might not grieve. And you killed a self, (i.e., a person) yet We safely delivered you out of suffering, and We tempted you with many temptations. Then you lingered years among the population of Madyan. Thereafter you came (here), according to a determined (estimate), O Mûsa.
