أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِمَا فِى صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ
Has he not been told what was written in the Scriptures of Moses
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَـٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تُؤْذُونَنِى وَقَد تَّعْلَمُونَ أَنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوٓا۟ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ
Moses said to his people, ‘My people, why do you hurt me when you know that I am sent to you by God?’ When they went astray, God left their hearts to stray: God does not guide rebellious people.
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
and they will be back above ground.
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Have you [Prophet] heard the story of Moses?
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
His Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
‘Go to Pharaoh, for he has exceeded all bounds,
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
and ask him, “Do you want to purify yourself [of sin]?
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Do you want me to guide you to your Lord, so that you may hold Him in awe?” ’
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْـَٔايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Moses showed him the great sign,
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
but he denied it and refused [the faith].
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
He turned away and hastily
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
gathered his people, proclaiming,
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
‘I am your supreme lord,’
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
so God condemned him to punishment in the life to come as well as in this life:
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
