(Moses) said: My Lord! relieve my mind 25 and make my task easy for me, 26 And loose the knot from my tongue, 27 "That they understand my speech, 28 and appoint for me, from my household, someone who will help me bear my burden - 29 “That is Haroon, my brother.” 30 Strengthen me through him 31 Let him be my partner in this task 32 so that [together] we might abundantly extol Thy limitless glory 33 and remember Thee without cease! 34 “Indeed You see us.” 35 He said, “O Moosa, you have been granted your prayer.” 36 We had already shown you favor 37 When We told your mother what We relate: 38 'Put the baby into a chest and then throw him in the river. The river will throw him up on the shore, and then an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his will take him.' And I spread My love over you in order that you might be reared in My sight. 39 Then your sister followed you, and said (to the people who had retrieved the child): 'Should I guide you to a person who can nurse him?'
