Commentary on 20:42
(اذهب أنت وأخوك) أي وليذهب أخوك حسبما طلبت وهو كلام مستأنف مسوق لبيان ما هو المقصود من الاصطناع، وفيه اختصار لما ذكر المذهوب إليه في قوله اذهبا إلى فرعون وحذفه هنا.
(بآياتي) أي بمعجزاتي التي جعلتها لك آية وهي اليد والعصا فقط وعليه أكثر المفسرين وقيل هي التسع الآيات وفيه نظر والباء للمصاحبة أي مصحوبين بها متمسكين بها في إجراء أحكام الرسالة وإكمال أمر الدعوة وليست المتعدية إذ ليس المراد مجرد ذهابهما وإيصالها إلى فرعون.
(ولا تنيا) أي لا تضعفا ولا تفترا يقال ونى ينى وَنْياً إذا ضعف وتواني في الأمر توانياً لم يبادر إلى ضبطه ولم يهتم به فهو متوان أي غير مهتم ولا محتفل.
(في ذكري) قال الفراء هذا وعن ذكري سواء، والمعنى لا تقتصرا عن ذكري بالإحسان إليكما والإنعام عليكما، ومن ذكر النعمة شكرها، وقيل المعنى لا تبطيا في تبليغ رسالتي، وفي قراءة ابن مسعود لا تهنا في ذكري.

إِذۡ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ ٣٨
When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,
20:39
أَنِ ٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقۡذِفِيهِ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ فَلۡيُلۡقِهِ ٱلۡيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأۡخُذۡهُ عَدُوّٞ لِّي وَعَدُوّٞ لَّهُۥۚ وَأَلۡقَيۡتُ عَلَيۡكَ مَحَبَّةٗ مِّنِّي وَلِتُصۡنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيۡنِيٓ ٣٩
[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me1 that you would be brought up under My eye [i.e., observation and care].

20:40
إِذۡ تَمۡشِيٓ أُخۡتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلۡ أَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكۡفُلُهُۥۖ فَرَجَعۡنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَيۡ تَقَرَّ عَيۡنُهَا وَلَا تَحۡزَنَۚ وَقَتَلۡتَ نَفۡسٗا فَنَجَّيۡنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلۡغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونٗاۚ فَلَبِثۡتَ سِنِينَ فِيٓ أَهۡلِ مَدۡيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئۡتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٖ يَٰمُوسَىٰ ٤٠
[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve. And you killed someone,1 but We saved you from retaliation and tried you with a [severe] trial. And you remained [some] years among the people of Madyan. Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.
