28:10 The heart of Moses’ mother became restless; she was about to disclose it, had We not reassured her heart so that she would maintain her faith [in Allah’s promise].

28:12 We had already forbidden for him all wet nurses[1], then she said, “Shall I direct you to a household who will nurse him for you and take good care of him?”
