* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱذْكُرُواْ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَاكُمْ مِّنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوۤءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ وَفِي ذٰلِكُمْ بَلاۤءٌ مِّن رَّبَّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ }

(And (remind them) how Moses said unto his people) the Children of Israel: (Remember Allah's favour unto you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's folk) from Pharaoh and his folk, the Copts, (who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, and were slaying your sons) at a young age (and sparing) and using (your women) when they are mature; (that was a tremendous trial from your Lord) that was a tremendous test from your Lord; it is also said that this means: saving you from such a tremendous trial was a great blessing from your Lord.
