Reflection — Ibn Kathir
Glad Tidings of the acceptance of Musa's Supplication and the Reminder of the Previous Blessings
This is a response from Allah to His Messenger, Musa, for what he requested from His Lord. It also contains a reminder of Allah's previous favors upon him. The first was inspiring his mother when she was breastfeeding him and she feared that Fir`awn and his chiefs would kill him. Musa was born during a year in which they (Fir`awn's people) were killing all of the male children. So she placed him in a case and cast him into the river. The river carried him away and she became grieved and distressed, as Allah mentioned about her when He said,
وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَى فَارِغاً إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِى بِهِ لَوْلا أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهَا
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
Here Sayyidna Musa (علیہ السلام) ended his petition, and he was rewarded with the good news that Allah Ta` ala, the Almighty, had granted all his requests قَالَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ سُؤْلَكَ يَا مُوسَىٰ (you have been granted your request 0 Musa - 20:36).
