فَجاءَتهُ إِحداهُما تَمشي عَلَى استِحياءٍ قالَت إِنَّ أَبي يَدعوكَ لِيَجزِيَكَ أَجرَ ما سَقَيتَ لَنا ۚ فَلَمّا جاءَهُ وَقَصَّ عَلَيهِ القَصَصَ قالَ لا تَخَف ۖ نَجَوتَ مِنَ القَومِ الظّالِمينَ

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."

قالَت إِحداهُما يا أَبَتِ استَأجِرهُ ۖ إِنَّ خَيرَ مَنِ استَأجَرتَ القَوِيُّ الأَمينُ

One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."

قالَ إِنّي أُريدُ أَن أُنكِحَكَ إِحدَى ابنَتَيَّ هاتَينِ عَلىٰ أَن تَأجُرَني ثَمانِيَ حِجَجٍ ۖ فَإِن أَتمَمتَ عَشرًا فَمِن عِندِكَ ۖ وَما أُريدُ أَن أَشُقَّ عَلَيكَ ۚ سَتَجِدُني إِن شاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

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."

قالَ ذٰلِكَ بَيني وَبَينَكَ ۖ أَيَّمَا الأَجَلَينِ قَضَيتُ فَلا عُدوانَ عَلَيَّ ۖ وَاللَّهُ عَلىٰ ما نَقولُ وَكيلٌ

[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."

فَلَمّا قَضىٰ موسَى الأَجَلَ وَسارَ بِأَهلِهِ آنَسَ مِن جانِبِ الطّورِ نارًا قالَ لِأَهلِهِ امكُثوا إِنّي آنَستُ نارًا لَعَلّي آتيكُم مِنها بِخَبَرٍ أَو جَذوَةٍ مِنَ النّارِ لَعَلَّكُم تَصطَلونَ

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."

وَأَن أَلقِ عَصاكَ ۖ فَلَمّا رَآها تَهتَزُّ كَأَنَّها جانٌّ وَلّىٰ مُدبِرًا وَلَم يُعَقِّب ۚ يا موسىٰ أَقبِل وَلا تَخَف ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الآمِنينَ

And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.

اسلُك يَدَكَ في جَيبِكَ تَخرُج بَيضاءَ مِن غَيرِ سوءٍ وَاضمُم إِلَيكَ جَناحَكَ مِنَ الرَّهبِ ۖ فَذانِكَ بُرهانانِ مِن رَبِّكَ إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَئِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا قَومًا فاسِقينَ

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."

قالَ رَبِّ إِنّي قَتَلتُ مِنهُم نَفسًا فَأَخافُ أَن يَقتُلونِ

He said, "My Lord, indeed, I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.

وَأَخي هارونُ هُوَ أَفصَحُ مِنّي لِسانًا فَأَرسِلهُ مَعِيَ رِدءًا يُصَدِّقُني ۖ إِنّي أَخافُ أَن يُكَذِّبونِ

And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me."

قالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخيكَ وَنَجعَلُ لَكُما سُلطانًا فَلا يَصِلونَ إِلَيكُما ۚ بِآياتِنا أَنتُما وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الغالِبونَ

[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."
