Verse 40

إِذْ When تَمْشِىٓ was going أُخْتُكَ your sister فَتَقُولُ and she said هَلْ Shall أَدُلُّكُمْ I show you عَلَىٰ [to] مَن (one) who يَكْفُلُهُۥ ۖ will nurse and rear him فَرَجَعْنَـٰكَ So We returned you إِلَىٰٓ to أُمِّكَ your mother كَىْ that تَقَرَّ may be cooled عَيْنُهَا her eyes وَلَا and not تَحْزَنَ ۚ she grieves وَقَتَلْتَ And you killed نَفْسًۭا a man فَنَجَّيْنَـٰكَ but We saved you مِنَ from ٱلْغَمِّ the distress وَفَتَنَّـٰكَ and We tried you فُتُونًۭا ۚ (with) a trial فَلَبِثْتَ Then you remained سِنِينَ (some) years فِىٓ with أَهْلِ (the) people مَدْيَنَ (of) Madyan ثُمَّ Then جِئْتَ you came عَلَىٰ at قَدَرٍۢ the decreed (time) يَـٰمُوسَىٰ O Musa ٤٠

[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone, but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.
