Commentary on 7:129
Kaum Musa dari kalangan Bani Israil berkata kepada Musa -‘alaihissalām-, “Wahai Musa! Kami mendapatkan cobaan melalui Firaun yang membunuh anak-anak laki-laki kami dan mempertahankan anak-anak perempuan kami sebelum dan sesudah kamu datang kepada kami.” Lalu Musa -‘alaihissalām- menasihati mereka dan memberikan kabar gembira kepada mereka akan adanya jalan bagi mereka, “Mudah-mudahan Tuhan kalian segera membinasakan musuh kalian, Firaun dan para pengikutnya, dan sesudah itu mudah-mudahan Allah memberikan tempat yang layak bagi kalian di bumi ini. Kemudian Dia akan melihat perbuatan kalian, apakah kalian akan bersyukur ataukah kufur.”

قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَمَكۡرٞ مَّكَرۡتُمُوهُ فِي ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ لِتُخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهَآ أَهۡلَهَاۖ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ ١٢٣
Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him1 before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.

لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ١٢٤

وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّآ إِلَّآ أَنۡ ءَامَنَّا بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَآءَتۡنَاۚ رَبَّنَآ أَفۡرِغۡ عَلَيۡنَا صَبۡرٗا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسۡلِمِينَ ١٢٦
And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience1 and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."

قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِ ٱسۡتَعِينُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصۡبِرُوٓاْۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ ١٢٨
