You are of us Ever a Well-Seer." 35 He said: Thou art granted thy request, O Moses. 36 We had already shown you favor 37 When We told your mother what We relate: 38 Place him in a chest and throw it into the river, and thereupon the river will cast him ashore, [and] one who is an enemy unto Me and an enemy unto him will adopt him.
