Al-Qashash · Ayah 9 · Juz 20 · Page 386

وَقَالَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ قُرَّتُ عَيۡنٖ لِّي وَلَكَۖ لَا تَقۡتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدٗا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٩

Wa qālatimraʾatu firʿawna qurratu ʿaynil lī wa lak, lā taqtulūhu ʿasā ay yanfaʿanā aw nattakhidhahū waladaw wa hum lā yashʿurūn.

And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye [i.e., pleasure] for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.1
