Tafsir
Verse range: 28:29
Musa's Return to Egypt and how he was honored with the Mission and Miracles on the Way In the explanation of the previous Ayah, we have already seen that Musa completed the longer and better of the two terms, which may also be understood from the Ayah where Allah says:
فلما قضى موساﻻجل
Then, when Musa had fulfilled the term, meaning, the longer of the two; and Allah knows best.
وسار بٲهله
and was traveling with his family, They said: "Musa missed his country and his relatives, so he resolved to visit them in secret, without Fir`awn and his people knowing. So he gathered up his family and the flocks which his father-in-law had given to him, and set out on a cold, dark, rainy night. They stopped to camp, and whenever he tried to start a fire, he did not succeed. He was surprised by this, and while he was in this state,
آنس من جانب الطور نارا
he saw a fire in the direction of At-Tur, he saw a fire burning from a far.
قال ﻻهله امكثوا إني آنست نارا
He said to his family: "Wait, I have seen a fire...'' meaning, `wait while I go there,'
لعلي آتيكم منها بخبر
perhaps I may bring to you from there some information, This was because they lost their way.
أو جذوة من النار لعلكم تصطلون
or a burning firebrand that you may warm yourselves. so that they could get warm and find relief from the cold
