Surah Taha — Ayah 39 (20:39)

English translation (Saheeh International)

[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me¹ that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].

1. - Allāh put love of Moses into the hearts of the people.

Brief commentary

I had instructed her when I inspired her: Throw your child after he is born into the chest and then place the chest into the river. The river will cast him on to the bank by My command, and he will be taken in by an enemy of Mine and his, who is Pharaoh. I placed on you love from Me, so that people love you, and so that you are reared under My watchful eye, protection and care.
