سُوْرَةُ الْقَصَصِ
Surah Al-Qasas (28) — Ayah 10
وَأَصْبَحَ فُؤَادُ أُمِّ مُوسَىٰ فَـٰرِغًا ۖ إِن كَادَتْ لَتُبْدِى بِهِۦ لَوْلَآ أَن رَّبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قَلْبِهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿10﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And the heart of the mother of Mûsâ (Moses) became empty [from every thought, except the thought of Mûsâ (Moses)]. She was very near to disclose his (case, i.e. the child is her son), had We not strengthened her heart (with Faith), so that she might remain as one of the believers.

10-1. That is, her heart became free (empty) from everything and every thought, and only one concern, that is, the grief of Musa (عليه السلام), filled her heart, which in Urdu is expressed as restlessness.
10-2. That is, due to the intensity of grief, she would have revealed that this was her child, but Allah strengthened her heart, upon which she exercised patience and became certain that the promise Allah made to return Musa (عليه السلام) safely would be fulfilled.
