At nightfall the King came back (to the city), rejoicing and saying (to himself), “The conception is to-night, and they are far from their wives.”
‘Imrán, his treasurer, also came to the city in attendance upon him as his companion.
He said, “O ‘Imrán, do thou sleep at this door. Beware! go not to thy wife or seek to lie with her.”
He replied, “I will sleep at this portal of thine; I will think of naught but thy pleasure.”
‘Imrán, too, was one of the Israelites, but he was (dear as) heart and soul to Pharaoh.
How should he (Pharaoh) have thought that he (‘Imrán) would disobey (Pharaoh's orders) and do that which (was) the dread of Pharaoh's soul?
