Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Story of Musa and Fir`awnAllah consoles His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for the disbelief of his people and gives him the glad tidings of good consequences and victory in this world and the Hereafter, as happened to Musa bin `Imran, peace be upon him, whom Allah sent with clear proof and definitive evidence. Allah says:بِـَايَـتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ(with Our Ayat, and a manifest authority). Authority means proof and evidence.إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ(to Fir`awn), who was the king of the Copts of Egypt.
