(Moses) said: My Lord! relieve my mind 25 And ease my task for me; 26 And loose the knot from my tongue, 27 “In order that they may understand my speech.” 28 And appoint for me a minister from my household. 29 Aaron, my brother. 30 "Add to my strength through him, 31 And share my task, 32 That we may glorify Thee much 33 and remember You abundantly. 34 "Verily! You are of us Ever a Well-Seer." 35 Said He, 'Thou art granted, Moses, thy petition. 36 And assuredly We conferred a benefit on thee another time. 37 when We inspired thy mother with this inspiration: 38 'Put him in a wooden box and cast it in the river. The river will cast it on the bank. An enemy of Ours, and his, will retrieve it.'
