فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ مُوسَى فَقَالَ لَهُ خَلِّ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ الطُّوفَانَ، فَخَرَّبَ دُورَهُمْ وَ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ- حَتَّى خَرَجُوا إِلَى الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَ ضَرَبُوا الْخِيَامَ، So Musa -as came and said to him -la : ‘Leave the Children of Israel (to go free)’.
But he -la did not do so, and Allah -azwj Sent down the flood upon them during that year, and it ruined their houses and their dwellings to the extent that they went out to the wilderness and pitched the tents.
فَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ لِمُوسَى ادْعُ رَبَّكَ- حَتَّى يَكُفَّ عَنَّا الطُّوفَانَ حَتَّى أُخَلِّيَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ أَصْحَابِكَ، فَدَعَا مُوسَى رَبَّهُ فَكَفَّ عَنْهُمُ الطُّوفَانَ وَ هَمَّ فِرْعَوْنُ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ هَامَانُ إِنْ خَلَّيْتَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ غَلَبَكَ مُوسَى وَ أَزَالَ مُلْكَكَ، فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَ لَمْ يُخَلِّ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، So Pharaoh -la said to Musa -as , ‘Supplicate to your -as Lord -azwj until He -azwj Stops the deluge from us and I -la will free the Children of Israel and your -as companions’.
So Musa -as supplicated to his -as Lord -azwj , and the deluge was stopped from them, and he -as thought that Pharaoh -la would free the Children of Israel. But, Haman said to him -la , ‘If you -la free the Children of Israel, Musa -as would overcome you -la and your kingdom would decline’. So he -la accepted from him and did not free the Children of Israel.
فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ الْجَرَادَ- فَجَرَّدَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنَ النَّبْتِ وَ الشَّجَرِحَتَّى كَانَتْ تُجَرِّدُ شَعْرَهُمْ وَ لِحْيَتَهُمْ، فَجَزِعَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ جَزَعاً شَدِيداً، وَ قَالَ يَا مُوسَى ادْعُ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَكُفَّ عَنَّا الْجَرَادَ- حَتَّى أُخَلِّيَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ أَصْحَابِكَ، فَدَعَا مُوسَى رَبَّهُ، فَكَفَّ عَنْهُمُ الْجَرَادَ- فَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ هَامَانُ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، So Allah -azwj Sent down the locusts upon them during the second year, and they devoured everything which was for them, from the vegetation and the trees, to the extent that they devoured their hair and their beards.
So he -la panicked from that with an intense panic and said, ‘O Musa -as ! Supplicate to your -as Lord -azwj to Stop the locusts from us, and I -la will free the Children of Israel and your -as companions’. So Musa -as supplication to his -as Lord -azwj , and the locusts were stopped from them.
