Sahih Int'l: We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for a people who believe.
Sahih Int'l: Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.
Sahih Int'l: And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors

Sahih Int'l: And We inspired to the mother of Moses, “Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers.â€
Sahih Int'l: And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.
Sahih Int'l: And the wife of Pharaoh said, “[He will be] a comfort of the eye for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son.†And they perceived not.
Sahih Int'l: And the heart of Moses’ mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.
Sahih Int'l: And she said to his sister, “Follow himâ€; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.
Sahih Int'l: And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, 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?â€

Sahih Int'l: And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, “This is from the work of Satan.

Sahih Int'l: And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, “O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders.â€
Sahih Int'l: And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, “O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors.â€
Sahih Int'l: So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, “My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people.â€
Sahih Int'l: And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way.â€
Sahih Int'l: And when he came to the well of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women driving back [their flocks]. He said, “What is your circumstance?†They said, “We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man.â€
Sahih Int'l: So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, “My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need.â€
Sahih Int'l: 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 him and related to him the story, he said, “Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people.â€
Sahih Int'l: One of the women said, “O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy.â€
Sahih Int'l: He said, “Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allah wills, from among the righteous.â€
Sahih Int'l: [Moses] said, “That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete – there is no injustice to me, and Allah, over what we say, is Witness.â€
Sahih Int'l: And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, “Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves.â€

Sahih Int'l: Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient.â€

Sahih Int'l: [Allah] said, “We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant.â€
Sahih Int'l: But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, “This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers.â€

Sahih Int'l: And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.

Sahih Int'l: But those who had been given knowledge said, “Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient.â€
