Verse range: 25:35
Al-Furqan: (35) "And We certainly gave Moses..."
The Ministry (Wizara): It does not contradict prophethood, for prophets were often sent at the same time and commanded to support one another.
The Meaning: "So they both went to them, and they denied them, so We destroyed them." This is like His saying: "Strike the sea with your staff, and it parted" (Ash-Shu'ara: 63), meaning: "So he struck it, and it parted."
He intended to summarize the story by mentioning its two ends—the beginning and the conclusion—because they are the intended purpose of the entire narrative: namely, establishing the proof through the sending of messengers, and the deserving of destruction through their denial.
- From Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "So We destroyed them" (fadammartuhum).
- Also from him: "So they both destroyed them" (fadammarahuma).
- A reading: "So We destroyed them" (fadammarannahum), with the emphatic nun (the heavy nun).
