28:20
وَجَآءَ رَجُلٌۭ مِّنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَٱخْرُجْ إِنِّى لَكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ ٢٠
And a man came from the uttermost part of the city, running. He said: O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee; therefor escape. Lo! I am of those who give thee good advice.
And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."
Then a man came running from the farther end of the city and said: "O Moses, the nobles are deliberating about you that they may put you to death. So do be gone. I am one of your well-wishers."
قَالَ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ﴾ وَصَفَهُ بالرّجُولية لِأَنَّهُ خَالَفَ الطَّرِيقَ، فَسَلَكَ طَرِيقًا أَقْرَبَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ الَّذِينَ بُعثوا وَرَاءَهُ، فَسَبَقَ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا مُوسَى ﴿إِنَّ الْمَلأ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ﴾ أَيْ: يَتَشَاوَرُونَ فِيكَ ﴿لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَاخْرُجْ﴾ أَيْ: مِنَ الْبَلَدِ ﴿إِنِّي لَكَ مِنَ النَّاصِحِينَ﴾ .
