Verses 18:80-81 ​

وَأَمَّا ٱلْغُلَـٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَـٰنًا وَكُفْرًا

فَأَرَدْنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَوٰةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا

“As for the youth, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overwhelm them with transgression and disbelief. So we desired that their Lord would give them in exchange one better than him in purity and closer in affection.”
