﴿ وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَىٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌۭ ﴾

“And, lo Moses spoke [thus] unto his people: "Remember the blessings which God bestowed upon you when He saved you from Pharaoh's people who afflicted you with cruel suffering, and slaughtered your sons, and spared [only] your women -which was an awesome trial from your Sustainer.”

And mention when Moses said to his people ‘Remember God’s grace to you when He delivered you from the folk of Pharaoh who were inflicting upon you a dreadful chastisement and were slaughtering your sons the new-born and sparing keeping alive your women — this was because some of the priests of Egypt had stated that a child born among the Israelites shall be the cause of the destruction of Pharaoh’s kingdom; and in that deliverance — or in that chastisement — was a tremendous trial grace — or a tremendous test — from your Lord.
