Aya 40
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

A. J. Arberry

when thy sister went out, saying, "Shall I point you to one to have charge of him?" So We returned thee to thy mother that she might rejoice, and not sorrow. Then thou slewest; a living soul, and We delivered thee out of grief, and We tried thee with many trials. Many years among the people of Midian thou didst sojourn, then camest hither, Moses, according to a decree.
