Surah Al-Qasas — Ayah 12 (28:12)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before,¹ so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"

1. - Prior to that, Moses had refused to nurse from any other woman.

Brief commentary

By the decree of Allah, Moses refused to feed from the women. When his sister saw their eagerness to feed him, she said to them, “Shall I tell you of a household who shall feed him and look after him, who will also treat him with goodwill?”
