Arabic text

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

Translation

(Remember the time) When (acting on Allaah's command to remind the Bani Israa'eel about Allaah's favours,) Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام told his people, “Recall Allaah's bounties on you when He rescued you from the people of Firoun, who were inflicting a severe punishment on you by slaughtering (most of) your sons and keeping your daughters alive (to serve them). In this was a great trial (test of your Imaan) from your Rabb."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

for example, they kept you as slaves and forced hard labour out of you. The trial of the Children of Israel: “in that He brought you out of the humiliation of slavery and enriched you with the wealth of freedom.” The original meaning of بَلَاء (bala') is trial.
