And Pharaoh’s wife said after he and his aids had resolved to slay him he is ‘A joyous sight for me and you. Do not slay him. Perhaps he will be of benefit to us or we will adopt him as a son’ and so they obeyed her wish. And they were not aware of the sequel to their affair with him.
- 28:99
وَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِي وَلَكَ ۖ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Said Pharaoh's wife, 'He will be a comfort to me and thee. Slay him not; perchance he will profit us, or we will take him for a son.' And they were not aware.
