The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: << وقالت امرأت فرعون قرت عينٍ لي ولك لا تقتلوه عسى أن ينفعنا أو نتخذه ولدًا وهم لا يشعرون >

Among the benefits of the verse that follows is, first, the indication of the virtue of the wife of Pharaoh in her saying: It also contains evidence of her shrewdness, for she expected that it would benefit them, but it did not turn out as she had expected in any way. Who did it benefit? It benefited her, but it harmed Pharaoh. It also contains evidence for what is said: "Indeed, calamity is tied to speech". And optimism is a matter of speech, because as for the wife of Pharaoh, she said: So she took a good omen from it, and that was what happened for her, and it became a source of joy. In this is also evidence that one should use the methods that achieve the intended purpose, because of her saying: For this statement of hers, whether she expected that or not, must have been a cause for Pharaoh to agree to what was reported to him. And among its benefits is that it indicates that Pharaoh intended to kill Moses. From where is this taken? From her saying: "Do not kill him." The apparent meaning is that he intended to do so. Yes.
And among its benefits is also the limitation of human knowledge, no matter how high one rises or how arrogant one becomes, because of His saying: Is the permissibility of adoption taken from this? Is the permissibility of adoption taken from this? Let us see whether we establish this or not from the verse? Or is it said: "Or we take him as a son" means like a son in our house, or in terms of honor? And as for "perhaps he will benefit us," it is like a servant. In any case, if the verse intends "we take him as a son" meaning we adopt him, then this practice was abrogated; it was present in the early period of Islam and then was abrogated. And if the intended meaning of "we take him as a son" is in the position of a son in terms of honor, without us using him as a servant, yes, then this does not indicate adoption.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : My intention is that adoption is known among them. Is this what is intended by the verse, and that adoption is known among them, or not?
