Surah Al Qasas Tafseer

اسْلُكْ يَدَكَ فِي جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَاء مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ

Put your hand into the opening of your garment, it will come forth white without a disease;

meaning, `when you put your hand in your garment and then draw it out, it will be shining white as if it were a piece of the moon or a flash of lightning.'

Allah said:

مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوءٍ

(without a disease), i.e., with no trace of leukoderma.

وَاضْمُمْ إِلَيْكَ جَنَاحَكَ مِنَ الرَّهْبِ

and draw your hand close to your side to be free from the fear.

Mujahid said, "To be free from terror."

Qatadah said, "To be free from fear."

Musa was commanded, when he felt afraid of anything, to draw his hand close to his side to be free from the fear. If he did that, whatever fear he felt would be gone.

Perhaps if a person does this, following the example of Musa, and puts his hand over his heart, his fear will disappear or be lessened, if Allah wills; in Allah we place our trust.

فَذَانِكَ بُرْهَانَانِ مِن رَّبِّكَ

These are two proofs from your Lord

This refers to the throwing down of his stick, whereupon it turned into a moving snake, and his putting his hand into his garment and bringing it forth white without a disease.

These were two clear and definitive proofs of the power of the One Who does as He chooses, and of the truth of the Prophethood of the one at whose hands these miracles occurred.

Allah said:

إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَيِهِ

to Fir`awn and his chiefs.

meaning his leaders and prominent followers.

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ

Verily, they are the people who are rebellious.

means, who are disobedient towards Allah and who go against His commands and His religion
