Verse range: 26:61
فلما تراءى الجمعان
And when the two hosts saw each other, means, each group saw the other. At that point,
قال أصحاب موسى إنا لمدركون
the companions of Musa said: "We are sure to be overtaken.'' This was because Fir`awn and his people caught up with them on the shores of the Red Sea, so the sea was ahead of them and Fir`awn and his troops were behind them. Hence they said:
إنا لمدركون
(We are sure to be overtaken)
قال كﻼ إن معي ربي سيهدين
