And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, "My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people."
Tafseer
{ وضرب الله مثلا للذين آمنوا امرأة فرعون } آمنت بموسى واسمها آسية فعذبها فرعون بأن أوتد يديها ورجليها وألقى على صدرها رحى عظيمة واستقبل بها الشمس فكانت إذا تفرق عنها من وكل بها ظللتها الملائكة { إذ قالت } في حال التعذيب { رب ابن لي عندك بيتا في الجنة } فكشف لها فرأته فسهل عليها التعذيب {ونجني من فرعون وعمله } وتعذيبه { ونجني من القوم الظالمين } أهل دينه فقبض الله روحها، وقال ابن كيسان :رفعت إلى الجنة حية فهي تأكل وتشرب .
{And Allah has set forth an example for those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh} who believed in Moses and her name was Asiya. Pharaoh tortured her by tying her hands and feet together and placing a great millstone on her chest and exposing her to the sun. When those who were assigned to her dispersed, the angels shaded her. {When she said} during the torture {My Lord, build for me a house in Paradise} so it was revealed to her and she saw it, and the torture became easier for her. {And save me from Pharaoh and his deeds} and his torture {And save me from the wrongdoing people} the people of his religion. Then Allah took her soul. Ibn Kaysan said: She was raised to Paradise alive, and she eats and drinks.
