Transliteration:( Falammaaa an araada ai yabtisha billazee huwa 'aduwwul lahumaa qaala yaa Moosaaa atureedu an taqtulanee kamaa qatalta nafsam bil amsi in tureedu illaaa an takoona jabbaaram fil ardi wa maa tureedu an takoona minal musliheen )
49. This means Hazrat Moosa (On whom he peace) wanted to catch the Israelite and separate him from the Qibti. But the Israelite misunderstood this, thinking that Hazrat Moosa (on whom be peace) wanted to beat him up. So he began to scream and said this It should be remembered that he said the Qibti was an enemy of both re of Hazrat Moosa (On whom he peace) and the fighting Israelite, because an infidel is always an enemy of a believer.
50. This means Oh Hazrat Monsa! (On whom he peace) you do not make peace verbally but show readiness to hit. Yesterday you killed one Qibiti, and today you want to kill me. This Qibti heard what was said and wanted to inform the Pharaoh about it. On hearing this the king gave an order to kill Hazrat Moosa (On whom be peace). In response to the king’s command his police set out in search of him.

28. Here, the Biblical version is different from the Quranic. The Bible says that the fight on the next day was between two Israelites, but according to the Quran this fight also was between an Israelite and an Egyptian. This second version seems to be credible, for the manner in which the secret of the murder of the first day became known, as is being mentioned below, could be possible only if a member of the Coptic community had come to know of the matter. An Israelite’s knowledge of it could not be so treacherous: he could not have gone to inform the Pharaonic government of such a heinous crime committed by the prince, who was a great supporter of his own community.
29. The one who cried out was the same Israelite whom the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) wanted to help against the enemy. When after scolding and rebuking him, he turned to assault the Egyptian, the Israelite thought that Moses (peace be upon him) was going to strike him; therefore, he raised a hue and cry and disclosed the secret of the previous day’s murder by this own folly.
