"And the heart of the mother of Moses became void." Qatadah's interpretation: Meaning, void of everything except the remembrance of Moses; she would not remember anyone else. "She was about to disclose it," Qatadah said: to reveal that he was her son due to the intensity of her yearning. "Had We not strengthened her heart" with faith.

Muhammad said: Strengthening the heart is the inspiration of patience, and its fortification and empowerment.
