Transliteration:( Wa lammaa waqa'a 'alaihimur rijzu qaaloo ya Moosad-u lanaa rabbaka bimaa 'ahida 'indaka la'in kashafta 'annar rijza lanu 'minanna laka wa lanursilanna ma'aka Banee Israaa'eel )
281. That your Lord has promised you to accept your prayer. This tells us that inwardly the Pharaoh had acknowledged the Prophethood of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace). It also seems that going to the courts of the pious for the acceptance of one's prayer is the natural inclination of a person. Anyone who stops you from this is obstructing nature and he will not succeed in this. Observe that Pharaoh was an infidel, but in times of difficulties, he would request prayers from Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace). This was the demand of nature.
282. From this, we learn that Divine works can be attributed to human beings because to terminate punishment is Allah Almighty's work, but it is attributed to Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) and Allah Almighty did not raise any objection to this, nor say that since the Pharaoh has requested help from Hazrat Musa (On) who be peace), he is therefore a polytheist.Â
283. This tells us that even the Pharaoh had acknowledged the mediation of the Prophet. Anyone who rejects mediation is more misguided than even the Pharaoh.
