* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَكْتُمُ إِيمَانَهُ أَتَقْتُلُونَ رَجُلاً أَن يَقُولَ رَبِّيَ ٱللَّهُ وَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بِٱلْبَيِّنَاتِ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ وَإِن يَكُ كَاذِباً فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ وَإِن يَكُ صَادِقاً يُصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ }

Then said a believing man from among Pharaoh’s folk — this is said to have been his paternal cousin — who had concealed his faith ‘Will you slay a man for saying “My Lord is God” even though he has also brought you clear signs manifest miracles from your Lord? If he is lying then his mendacity will be to his own detriment that is the harm resulting from his mendacity will be to his own detriment; but if he is truthful then there will befall you some of that with which he is threatening you in the way of chastisement soon. Truly God does not guide one who is a prodigal an idolater a liar.
