That is how We returned him to his mother so that she might delight her
eyes and feel no grief, and so that she would know that Allah's promise
is true. But most of them do not know this. (Surat al-Qasas: 13)
As the verse makes clear, Allah tested the devotion of the Prophet
Moses' (pbuh) mother and, in return for her patience, submission, and
strength of character, arranged events so that she could take care of him.

Allah also made this event a cause for the Prophet Moses (pbuh), who
would one day assume great responsibilities in Egypt and fight to free
the Israelites from Pharaoh's oppression, to be brought up in Pharaoh's
palace in close proximity to him. Allah reveals:
The family of Pharaoh picked him up so that he might be an enemy and
a source of grief to them. Certainly Pharaoh, Haman, and their troops
were in the wrong. (Surat al-Qasas: 8)
The wife of Pharaoh said: "A source of delight for me and for you; do not
kill him. It may well be that he will be of use to us, or perhaps we could
adopt him as a son." They were not aware. (Surat al-Qasas: 9)
