وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَىٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ

And, lo,6 Moses spoke [thus] unto his people: "Remember the blessings which God bestowed upon you when He saved you from Pharaoh's people who afflicted you with cruel suffering, and slaughtered your sons, and spared [only] your women7 - which was an awesome trial from your Sustainer.
  - Mohammad Asad

For this rendering of the particle idh, see surah {2}, note [21].

Cf. 2:49 : also Exodus i. 15-16 and 22.

Recall! When Musa said to his people: "Remember Allah's favor to you when He delivered you from the people of Fir'on (Pharaoh), who subjected you to cruel afflictions, putting your sons to death and sparing your females, and in this there was a tremendous trial from your Rabb."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'Consider' when Moses said to his people, 'Remember Allah's favour upon you when He rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment- slaughtering your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And (remind them) how Moses said unto his people: Remember Allah's favor unto you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's folk who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, and were slaying your sons and sparing your women; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Remember! Moses said to his people: "Call to mind the favor of Allah to you when He delivered you from the people of Pharaoh: They set you hard tasks and punishments slaughtered your sons and let your womenfolk live: therein was a tremendous trial from your Lord." 1878
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. ii. 49. The reference back to Israel and Moses serves a double purpose-as an appeal to the People of the Book, and as a reminder to the Quraish of the favour now conferred on them by the coming among them of a greater Prophet than Moses.
