Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on
wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who
is strong and trusty"... 3355 3356 [The English translation of surah al-Qasas, 28:26 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali]
Notes:
- A little time passes. A guest after all cannot stay for
ever. They all feel that it would be good to have him
with them permanently. The girl who had given her heart
to him had spoken their unspoken thoughts. Why not employ
him to tend the flocks? The father was old, and a young
man was wanted to look after the flocks. And-there may be
other possibilities.
- Strong and trusty: Moses had proved himself to be both,
and these were the very qualities which a woman most
admires in the man she loves.
