Those are the Signs of the Clear Book.
3
We recite to you with truth some news of Musa and Pharaoh for people who have iman.
4
Pharaoh exalted himself arrogantly in the land and divided its people into camps, oppressing one group of them by slaughtering their sons and letting their women live. He was one of the corrupters.
5
We desired to show kindness to those who were oppressed in the land and to make them leaders and make them inheritors
6
and establish them firmly in the land and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their troops the very thing that they were fearing from them.
7
We revealed to Musa's mother, 'Suckle him and then when you fear for him cast him into the sea. Do not fear or grieve; We will return him to you and make him one of the Messengers.'
8
The family of Pharaoh picked him up so that he might be an enemy and a source of grief to them. Certainly Pharaoh and Haman and their troops were in the wrong.
9
The wife of Pharaoh said, 'A source of delight for me and for you; do not kill him. It may well be that he will be of use to us or perhaps we could adopt him as a son.' They were not aware.
10
Musa's mother felt a great emptiness in her heart and she almost gave him away; only We fortified her heart so that she would be one of the muminun.
11
She said to his sister, 'Go after him.' And she kept an eye on him from afar and they were not aware.
12
We first made him refuse all wet-nurses, so she said, 'Shall I show you to a household who will feed him for you and be good to him?'
13
That is how We returned him to his mother so that she might delight her eyes and feel no grief and so that she would know that Allah's promise is true. But most of them do not know this.
14
And when he reached his full strength and maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge. That is how We recompense good-doers.
15
He entered the city at a time when its inhabitants were unaware and found two men fighting there – one from his party and the other from his enemy. The one from his party asked for his support against the other from his enemy. So Musa hit him, dealing him a fatal blow. He said, 'This is part of Shaytan's handiwork. He truly is an outright and misleading enemy.'
16
He said, 'My Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me.' So He forgave him. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
17
He said, 'My Lord, because of Your blessing to me, I will never be a supporter of evildoers.'
18
Morning found him in the city, fearful and on his guard. Then suddenly the man who had sought his help the day before, shouted for help from him again. Musa said to him, 'You are clearly a misguided man.'
19
But when he was about to grab the man who was their common enemy, he said, 'Musa! do you want to kill me just as you killed a person yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land; you do not want to be a reformer.'
20
A man came running from the furthest part of the city, saying, 'Musa, the Council are conspiring to kill you, so leave! I am someone who brings you good advice.'
21
So he left there fearful and on his guard, saying, 'My Lord, rescue me from the people of the wrongdoers!'
22
When he turned his face in the direction of Madyan, he said, 'Hopefully my Lord will guide me to the right way.'
23
When he arrived at the water of Madyan, he found a crowd of people drawing water there. Standing apart from them, he found two women, holding back their sheep. He said, 'What are you two doing here?' They said, 'We cannot draw water until the shepherds have driven off their sheep. You see our father is a very old man.'
24
So he drew water for them and then withdrew into the shade and said, 'My Lord, I am truly in need of any good You have in store for me.'
25
One of them came walking shyly up to him and said, 'My father invites you so that he can pay you your wage for drawing water for us.' When he came to him and told him the whole story he said, 'Have no fear, you have escaped from wrongdoing people.'
26
One of them said, 'Hire him, father. The best person to hire is someone strong and trustworthy.'
27
He said, 'I would like to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine on condition that you work for me for eight full years. If you complete ten, that is up to you. I do not want to be hard on you. You will find me, Allah willing, to be one of the salihun.'
28
He said, 'That is agreed between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I fulfil, there should be no bad feeling towards me. Allah is Guardian over what we say.'
29
When Musa had fulfilled the appointed term and had set off with his family, he noticed a fire from one side of the Mount. He said to his family, 'Stay here, I can see a fire. Hopefully I will bring you back some news from it or a burning branch from the fire so that you will be able to warm yourselves.'
30
But when he reached it a voice called out to him from the right hand side of the valley in the part which was full of blessing, from out of the bush: 'Musa, I am Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
