In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surat Al-Qasas
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
We prohibited him from breastfeeding before
She said: Shall I direct you to the people of a house?
We guarantee it for you
They are his advisors
And Moses forbade the wet nurses
To breastfeed them
He does not accept any of them
His sister said to them when she saw
Who found them in it and were keen on it
Shall I direct you to the people of the House?
We guarantee it to you
They are his advisors
It was mentioned that she was taken and it was said
I knew him
And she said
I only meant that they are advisors to the king
We returned him to his mother
To appease her eyes
And don't be sad
And to learn
God's promise is true
But most of them don't know
So We returned Musa to his mother
After the Pharaoh's family picked it up
To give her eyes to her son
When he returned to her unharmed from the killing of Pharaoh
And do not be sad about leaving her
And to know that God's promise
Who promised her when he told her
Do not be afraid or sad
It is a true promise
But most of the polytheists
They do not know that God's promise is true
They don't believe it to be so
And when he reached his peak and leveled off
We gave him wisdom and knowledge
Thus do We reward the doers of good
When Musa reached his full strength in body, they strengthened
He missed his youth
We gave him understanding of religion and knowledge
We also rewarded Moses for his obedience
And his kindness and patience in our matter
Thus We reward everyone who does good
Of Our Messengers and Our servants
And he entered the city
While its people were unaware
He found two men fighting there
This is from his Shiites and this is from his enemy
So the one of his followers asked him for help
On the one who is his enemy
So Moses poked him and killed him
He said this is the work of Satan
He is a clearly misleading enemy
And Moses entered the city
City of exile from Egypt
While its people were unaware
According to the saying, it is half the day
He found two men fighting there
This is from the people of the religion of Moses from the children of Israel
This is from his enemy, the Copts, from Pharaoh's people
So he, who was one of the people of the religion of Moses, sought help from him
On his enemy, the Copts
So Moses poked him
And to shake him in the chest by bringing his palm together
So he killed him
Musa said when he killed the dead man
This killing of Satan caused me
That made me so angry that I hit this
He perished from my blow
Satan is an enemy of the son of Adam
Misleading him from the path of guidance
By adorning his ugly deeds
He shows his long-standing enmity with them
And mislead them
He said, “My Lord, I have wronged myself.”
So forgive me and I will forgive him
He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
Musa said regretfully
Lord, I have wronged myself by killing myself
Who did not order me to kill her
So pardon my sin
So God pardoned Moses for his sin
He did not punish him with it
God is the one who protects those who turn to Him
Merciful to people is to punish them for their sins
After they repented from it
He said, “My Lord, for what You have bestowed upon me.”
I will not be a supporter of criminals
Musa said
Lord, by Your grace upon me, by Your pardon for killing this soul
I will not be a supporter of the polytheists
He became in the city afraid and waiting
Then the one who asked him for help yesterday is crying out to him
Moses told him that you are a clear linguist
So Moses became in the city of Pharaoh
Afraid of the crime he committed
He waits for the news
He waits for what people are talking about
What are they doing regarding his affairs and the affairs of his dead person?
So, the Israeli who sought victory yesterday against the Pharaoh
Another Pharaoh fights him
The Israeli saw him and also called for help from the Pharaoh
Moses said to the Israelite who cried out to him
He encountered Musa, regretting his previous killing of the dead man yesterday
Today he is crying out to another
You, O seeker, are tempted
Your temptation became clear by fighting one man yesterday and today another
When he wanted to attack the one who was their enemy
He said, “O Moses, do you want to kill me as you killed a soul yesterday?”
You only want to be a mighty man on earth
And you don't want to be a reformer
When Moses wanted to attack the Pharaoh, who was an enemy of him and the Israelites
The Israelite said to Moses and thought it was what he wanted
Do you want to kill me like you killed someone yesterday?
You only want to be a mighty man on earth
You do not want to be one of those who work on the land for the benefit of its people
A man came from the farthest part of the city seeking
He said, “O Musa, the leaders are coming to you to kill you.” So he left
I am one of your advisors
It was mentioned that the Israeli’s statement was heard by a listener, who divulged it and informed the family of the dead man about it
Then Pharaoh asked for Moses and ordered him to be killed
When he ordered his killing, a man from the end of Pharaoh’s city came hastily
He said, “O Moses, the nobles and leaders of Pharaoh’s people are planning to kill you.”
So leave this city. I am advising you to leave it
So he came out of it, fearful and anticipating. He said, “My Lord, save me from the unjust people.”
So Moses left Pharaoh's city, fearing that he would kill himself, or that he would be killed by him
He waits for the request to become aware of it and takes it
He said, “My Lord, save me from these disbelieving people who have wronged themselves by disbelieving in You.”
When he headed toward Medina, he said, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the right path.”
And when Moses set his face toward a city, he was going toward it
He said, “Perhaps my Lord will show me the purpose of the path to Medina.”
But he said that because he did not know the way to it
When he reached the waters of Midian, he found a nation of people dwelling on them
And besides him, he found two women departing
He said, "What's the matter with you?" He said, "Let's water until the herdsmen leave, and our father is an old man."
When Moses reached the waters of Midian, he found there a group of people resting their camels and livestock
And he found without a nation the people who are on the water
Two women withhold water from their sheep until they finish watering their livestock
Moses said to the two women: What is the matter with you and your command to protect what you have shed from the people?
Do you not water it with the livestock of people and Arabs?
The two women said to Moses, “We will not irrigate what we have grown until the shepherds release their livestock.”
Because we cannot bear to water, and our father is an old man and cannot, due to his old age and weakness, water what we have grown.
So he watered for them, then turned to the shade and said, “My Lord, for the good you have sent down to me, I am poor.”
So Musa gave the two women water to drink, then he went to the shade of a tree and said
My Lord, when You sent down to me of goodness, I am poor and needy
Then one of them came to him, walking timidly
She said: My father is calling you to reward you for what you watered for us
When he came to him and told him the stories, he said, “Do not be afraid.”
I was saved from the unjust people
Then Musa, one of the two women whom he had given water to, came, walking more timidly than Musa
She covered her face with her dress and said, “My father is calling you to reward you for what you watered for us.”
So Moses went with her to her father
When her father came and told him his stories with Pharaoh and his Coptic people
Her father said to him, “Do not be afraid, for you have been saved from the unjust people, from Pharaoh and his people.”
Because he has no authority in our land where you are
One of them said, “Father, hire him. The best person to hire is the strong and trustworthy.”
One of the two women said to her father: Father, hire him to take care of your sheep
The best person you hire to shepherd is the one who is strong enough to preserve what you have built and take care of it in repairing and improving it
The trustworthy person whom you are not afraid to betray in what you entrust him with
He said: I want to marry one of my two daughters to you, provided that you give me eight proofs
If you complete ten, then it is from you, and I do not want to make it difficult for you
You will find me, God willing, among the righteous
I want to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine, provided that you discourage me from marrying her to me for eight reasons.
If you complete the eight proofs and make them ten proofs, then it is a good deed on your part
I do not want to make it difficult for you to discuss the eight arguments ten times
You will find me, God willing, among the righteous in fulfilling what I told you
He said, “This is between you and me, whichever of the two terms is spent, there is no aggression against him, and God is the disposer of what we say.”
Musa said: This is what you said, that you would marry me one of your daughters on the condition that I would reward you for eight proofs
It is a duty between you and me for each one of us to fulfill to his friend what he has obligated upon himself
That is, the two terms of the eight proofs and the ten proofs have been completed, so I paid you for them to graze your sheep and your sheep
You do not have the right to attack me and demand more from me
And God, in accordance with what He has made obligatory upon each one of us, is a witness and a protector for his companion
