Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Story of Musa and the End of Fir`awnHere Allah tells His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ about what happened to Musa, peace be upon him, how Allah chose him, spoke with him and gave him mighty, dazzling signs and overwhelming proof, and sent him to Fir`awn and his people, but they denied the proof, disbelieved in him and arrogantly refused to follow him. Allah says:إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لاًّهْلِهِ(when Musa said to his household), meaning, remember when Musa was traveling with his family and lost his way.
