Surah Ash Shu'ara Tafseer

قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا

(Musa) said:"I did it then..."

meaning, at that time,

وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ

when I was in error.

meaning, `before revelation was sent to me and before Allah made me a Prophet and sent me with this Message.'

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
