Expand my breast for me, 25 "And ease my task for me; 26 “And untie the knot of my tongue.” 27 so that they might fully understand my speech, 28 And give to me an aider from my family: 29 Aaron my brother 30 Strengthen by him my back. 31 Let him be my partner in this task 32 "That we may celebrate Thy praise without stint, 33 And remember You much. 34 Verily, You have always watched over us." 35 Allah said: "You are granted your request, O Musa (Moses)! 36 “And indeed We had bestowed upon you a favour one more time.” 37 When We inspired unto thy mother that which We inspired, 38 "Cast him into the ark, and cast him into the river, and let the river throw him up on the shore. An enemy of Mine and his shall take him." And I loaded on thee love from Me, and to be formed in My sight, 39 Recall, when your sister went along, saying: 'Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him?' Thus We brought you back to your mother so that her heart might be gladdened and she might not grieve. Moses, recall when you slew a person.
