How did the sorcerers know about the birth of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), given that knowledge of the unseen belongs to Allah the Almighty?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The sorcerers were unaware of Moses' birth; it was Pharaoh who knew about it. This knowledge came to him either through a traditional prophecy attributed to Abraham (peace be upon him) stating that the destruction of the king of Egypt would be at the hands of a boy from Abraham’s descendants, or through a dream Pharaoh had, which was interpreted for him to mean that his demise would be at the hands of a boy born among the Children of Israel.
