Surah Al-Qasas — Ayah 25 (28:25)

English translation (Saheeh International)

Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him¹ and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."

1. - Prophet Shuʿayb, the father of the two women.

Brief commentary

When they went back, they informed their father of Moses, so he sent one of them to him, inviting him. She approached him walking modestly, saying, “Indeed, my father is inviting you to meet him, intending to reward you for watering our livestock for us.” When Moses came to their father and told him of his situation, he reassuringly told him, “Do not fear, for you have escaped from an oppressive nation: Pharaoh and his crowd. They have no authority over Madyan, so they will not be able to harm you.”
