Moses said, responding to Pharaoh: "I performed what you mentioned before Allah revealed to me and sent me as a messenger, so I went out from among you fleeing to -Madyan- when I feared that you would kill me for what I did without intent, so my Lord granted me as a favor from Him prophethood and knowledge, and made me of the messengers. And that upbringing in your house, do you count it as a blessing from you upon me, while you have made the Children of Israel slaves, slaughtering their sons and keeping their women alive?"
