He said: “Be that (the agreement) between me and thee:
whichever of the two terms I fulfil, let there
be no ill-will to me. Be Allah a witness to what we say.”
28:29
Now when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was
travelling with his family, he perceived a fire in the
direction of Mount Tur. He said to his family: “Tarry ye;
I perceive a fire; I hope to bring you from
there some information, or a burning firebrand, that ye
may warm yourselves.”
28:30
But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard from
the right bank of the valley, from a tree in
hallowed ground: “O Moses! Verily I am Allah, the Lord

28:31
“Now do thou throw thy rod!” but when he saw it moving
(of its own accord) as if it had been a snake,
he turned back in retreat, and retraced not his steps: O
Moses!” (It was said), “Draw near, and fear not:
for thou art of those who are secure.
28:32
“Move thy hand into thy bosom, and it will come forth

He said: “O my Lord! I have slain a man among them,
and I fear lest they slay me.

“And my brother Aaron – He is more eloquent in speech
than I: so send him with me as a helper, to
confirm (and strengthen) me: for I fear that they may
accuse me of falsehood.”
28:35
He said: “We will certainly strengthen thy arm through
thy brother, and invest you both with
authority, so they shall not be able to touch you: with Our
Sign shall ye triumph,- you two as well as
those who follow you.”
28:36
When Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they
said: “This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never
did we head the like among our fathers of old!”
28:37
Moses said: “My Lord knows best who it is that comes
with guidance from Him and whose end will be
best in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrong-doers
will not prosper.”
