Commentary on 28:13
قوله: ﴿فَرَدَدْنَاهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ﴾ قال ابن إسحاق: بلغ لطف الله له ولها أن ردَّ عليها ابنها، وعَطَفَ عليه بقلب فرعون وأهل بيته، مع أمانها عليه [[عليه. ساقطة من نسخة (ج).]] من القتل الذي يُتخوَف على غيره، وكأنهم كانوا من بيت آل فرعون في الأمان والسعة [[أخرجه ابن أبي حاتم 9/ 2950.]]؛ فذلك قوله: ﴿كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا﴾ أي: بولدها ﴿وَلَا تَحْزَنَ﴾ على فراقه [[في النسخ الثلاث: فراقها.]] ﴿وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ﴾ برد ولدها إليها ﴿حَقٌّ﴾.
قال صاحب النظم: هي كانت عالمة بأن وعد الله حق قبل أن ردَّ إليها ولدها، لقوله تعالى: ﴿لَوْلَا أَنْ رَبَطْنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾ أيَ: المصدقين بوعد الله، فهي مصدقة بوعد الله بربط الله على قلبها؛ ومعنى: ﴿وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ﴾ لتعلم كون ذلك ووقوعه مع علمها بأن الله منجزها ما وعدها. وهذا الفرق بين العيان والخبر، وهو مثل قوله: ﴿قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي﴾ [البقرة: 260] لأن للمعاينة من ثَلَج اليقين ما ليس لغير المعاينة، وإن كان يقينًا [[ثَلَجَتْ نفسي بالأمر: إذا اطمأنت إليه وسكنت وثبت فيها ووثقت به. "تهذيب اللغة" 11/ 21 (ثلج)، و"لسان العرب" 2/ 222.]].
قوله تعالى: ﴿وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ يعني: أهل مصر لا يعلمون أن الله وعدها رده إليها [["تفسير الثعلبي" 8/ 142 أ.]].

وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَحۡذَرُونَ ٦
And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Hāmān and their soldiers through them1 that which they had feared.

28:7
وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَرۡضِعِيهِۖ فَإِذَا خِفۡتِ عَلَيۡهِ فَأَلۡقِيهِ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ وَلَا تَخَافِي وَلَا تَحۡزَنِيٓۖ إِنَّا رَآدُّوهُ إِلَيۡكِ وَجَاعِلُوهُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ ٧
And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
28:8
فَٱلۡتَقَطَهُۥٓ ءَالُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمۡ عَدُوّٗا وَحَزَنًاۗ إِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُواْ خَٰطِـِٔينَ ٨
And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Hāmān and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.
28:9
وَقَالَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ قُرَّتُ عَيۡنٖ لِّي وَلَكَۖ لَا تَقۡتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدٗا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٩
And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye [i.e., pleasure] for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.1

28:10
وَأَصۡبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَٰرِغًاۖ إِن كَادَتۡ لَتُبۡدِي بِهِۦ لَوۡلَآ أَن رَّبَطۡنَا عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٠
And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.
28:11
وَقَالَتۡ لِأُخۡتِهِۦ قُصِّيهِۖ فَبَصُرَتۡ بِهِۦ عَن جُنُبٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١١
And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.
28:12
۞ وَحَرَّمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَرَاضِعَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَقَالَتۡ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِ بَيۡتٖ يَكۡفُلُونَهُۥ لَكُمۡ وَهُمۡ لَهُۥ نَٰصِحُونَ ١٢
And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before,1 so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"
