* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَأَخِي هَارُونُ هُوَ أَفْصَحُ مِنِّي لِسَاناً فَأَرْسِلْهُ مَعِيَ رِدْءاً يُصَدِّقُنِي إِنِّيۤ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ }

And my brother Aaron is more eloquent more intelligible than me in speech. So send him with me as a helper as an aid a variant reading for rid’an ‘helper’ is ridan to confirm me read either in apocopated form yusadiqnī as a response to the request or as an indicative with damma inflection yusadiqunī as an adjectival qualification of rid’an ‘helper’ for I truly fear that they will deny me’.
