[26:18] وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ...

[26:18] وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ {19} And you did that deed of yours which you did, and you are from the ungrateful ones’ [26:19] قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ {20} He said: ‘I did it then when I was from the straying ones [26:20] فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ {21} So I fled from you when I feared you.

Then my Lord Granted me Wisdom and Made me to be from the Rasools [26:21] وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدْتَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ {22} And that is a favour which you are reproaching me upon although you have enslaved the children of Israel?’ [26:22] ابن بابويه، قال: حدثنا تميم بن عبد الله بن تميم القرشي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثني أبي، عن حمدان بن سليمان النيسابوري، عن علي بن محمد بن الجهم، قال: حضرت مجلس المأمون، و ذكر الحديث في عصمة الأنبياء، من سؤال المأمون للرضا (عليه السلام)، فكان فيما سأله: فما معنى قول موسى (عليه السلام) لفرعون: فَعَلْتُها إِذاً وَ أَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ؟ Ibn Babuwayh said, ‘Tameem Bin Abdullah Bin Tameem Al-Qarshy narrated to us, from his father, from Hamdan Bin Sulayman Al-Neysapouri, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Jaham who said, ‘I was present in the gathering of Al-Mamoun’ – and he mentioned the Hadeeth regarding the Infallibility of the Prophets -as , from the questions of Al-Mamoun to Al-Reza -asws .

From what he asked was, ‘So what is the meaning of the words of Musa -as to Pharaoh -la : He said: ‘I did it then when I was from the straying ones [26:20] ?’ قال الرضا (عليه السلام): «إن فرعون قال لموسى (عليه السلام) لما أتاه: وَ فَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَ أَنْتَ مِنَ الْكافِرِينَ بي Al-Reza -asws said: ‘Pharaoh -la said to Musa -as , when he -as came to him -la , ‘ And you did that deed of yours which you did, and you are from the ungrateful ones’ [26:19] , to me -la .
