How Moses was born and how the officers came to ‘Imrán's house and how it was divinely revealed to the mother of Moses that she should cast Moses into the fire.

‘Imrán's wife herself, who had brought Moses (with her), kept aloof from that turmoil and fume. That villain (Pharaoh) sent the midwives into the houses for the purpose of spying.
They gave information of her, saying, “Here is a child: she (his mother) did not come to the maydán: (make inquiry), for she is under suspicion and doubt.
In this street there is a comely woman: she has a child, but she is an artful one.”
Then the officers came: she, by the command of God, cast the child into the stove.
From that omniscient One revelation came to the woman that this boy is of the stock of the Friend (of God),
(And that) through the protection of (the Divine word), “O fire, be cool,” the fire will not be hot and untamed.
In consequence of the revelation the woman cast him amidst the sparks: the fire produced no effect on the body of Moses.
Then the officers went away without having attained their object, (but) again the informers, who were aware of it,
Raised an altercation with the officers before Pharaoh for the sake of (earning) some petty coins,
Saying, “O officers, go back thither, and look very carefully in the upper rooms.”
