📖 Commentary of Surah Taha – Verse 67

Then Musa got a fear within himself. [83]

✅ [83] The Nature of Musa’s Fear

Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) did not fear their magic itself, but he was concerned that the people might be confused between truth and falsehood.

He feared that his miracle—his staff turning into a serpent—might appear similar to their magical illusions, and thus truth may not clearly prevail over falsehood in the eyes of the spectators.

Ibn-Kathir

(20:67) So Moses’ heart was filled with fear.[41]

Ala-Maududi

(20:67) So Moses’ heart was filled with fear.[41]


41. It appears that no sooner did Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) say: Cast down, the magicians immediately cast their staffs and cords and it seemed as if hundreds of serpents were running towards him, and he instinctively felt a dread of them. And there is nothing strange in this because a Prophet is after all a human being. Besides this, it is also possible that Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) apprehended that the demonstration of the magic might create a misunderstanding among the people about his miracle. This is also a proof that a Prophet too can be influenced by magic to a certain extent like the common people, though magicians have no power to produce any effect on his Prophethood or interfere with revelation, or misguide him. Therefore there is no reason why one should consider as false those traditions in which it has been stated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) suffered temporarily from the effect of magic.

(67) And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.
