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
The Pharaoh's wife said: "He will be a comfort to me and to you. Do not kill him. He may well be of some advantage to us, or we may adopt him as a son." They were not aware (of what the future held in store).
