Ayat 40. "When your sister went and said: 'Shall I show you one who
will nurse him?' So We restored you to your mother, that she might cool her eyes
and she should not grieve. Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from great
distress and tried you with a heavy trial. Then you stayed a number of years
with the people of Madyan (Midian). Then you came here according to the
fixed term which I ordained (for you), O Mûsa (Moses)!
[Tafseer] We may suppose that the anxious mother,
after the child was floated on the water, sent the child's sister to follow the
chest from the bank and see where and by whom it was picked up. When it was
picked up by Pharaoh's own family and they seemed to love the child, she
appeared like a stranger before them, and said, "Shall I search out a good wet
nurse for the child, that she may rear the child you are going to adopt?" That
was exactly what they wanted. She ran home and told her mother. The mother was
delighted to come and fold the infant in her arms again and feed it at her own
breast, and all openly and without any concealment. The mother's eyes had,
we may imagine, been sore with scalding tears at the separation from her baby.
Now they were cooled: a phrase meaning that her heart was comforted. Years
passed. The child grew up. In outward learning he was of the house of
Pharaoh. In his inner soul and sympathy he was of Israel . One day, he went to
the Israelite colony and saw all the Egyptian oppression Under which Israel
labored. He saw an Egyptian smiting an Israelite, apparently with impunity.
Moses felt brotherly sympathy ard smote the Egyptian. He did not intend to kill
him, but in fact the Egyptian died of the blow. When this became known, his
position in Pharaoh's household became impossible. So he fled out of Egypt , and
was only saved by Allah's grace. He fled to the Sinai Peninsula , to the land of
the Midianites, and had various adventures. He marries one of the daughters of
the Midianite chief, and lived with the Midianites for many years, as an
Egyptian stranger. He had many trials and temptations, but he retained his
integrity of
character.
Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be
pleased with them) said: We counted Messenger's of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) saying a hundred times during one single sitting: Rabb-ighfir
li, wa tubb `alayya, innaka
Antat-Tawwabur-Rahim. (My Rubb! Forgive me and pardon me. Indeed, You are the
Oft-Returning with compassion and Ever Merciful.''
[Abu Dawud Hadith # 1516 and At-Tirmidhi
Hadith # 3434].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat
40."We saved you from great distress and tried you with a heavy
trial." This Hadith tells us about
the etiquette of praying to Allah. We should use the Names of Allah befitting
our prayers, i.e., the Names of Allah signifying those Attributes of Allah which
have a special concern with the subject of our particular prayer, i.e., while
seeking forgiveness, His Names concerning His Attributes of forgiveness and
kindness should be used. On the other hand, while praying for worldly matters,
we should mention His Qualities of charity and bestowing gifts etc.
