16689 - Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Abi al-Thalj narrated to us: Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us: Asbagh ibn Zayd al-Warraq narrated to us: al-Qasim ibn Abi Ayyub narrated to us: Sa'id ibn Jubayr narrated to us, from Ibn 'Abbas regarding His saying: "Then Allah inspired to her: 'Do not fear and do not grieve: We will return him to you, and will make him one of the messengers.'" When she gave birth, she did that to him. Then, when her son was hidden from her, the Devil came to her, and she said to herself: "What have I done with my son? Had he been slaughtered in my presence, so I could have buried him and shrouded him, it would have been more beloved to me than to cast him with my own hands to the beasts of the sea and its fish."

They saw a black object in the sea, so the chest was brought to them. The daughter of Pharaoh's wife, who was leprous, rushed to the chest and opened it.
