Tafsir
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Verse range: 28:10
The intense Grief of Musa's Mother, and how He was returned to Her Allah tells:
وأصبح فواد أم موسى فارغا
And the heart of the mother of Musa became empty. Allah tells us how, when her child was lost in the river, the heart of Musa's mother became empty, i.e., she could not think of any matter in this world except Musa. This was the view of Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Abu Ubaydah, Ad-Dahhak, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah and others.
إن كادت لتبدي به
She was very near to disclose his (case), means, because of the intensity of her grief, she almost told people that she had lost a son. She would have disclosed her situation, if Allah had not given her strength and patience. Allah says:
لوﻻ أن ربطنا على قلبها لتكون من المومنين
