فَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ هَارِبِينَ مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ رَكِبُوا دَوَابَّهُمْ وَ أَسْرَعُوا فِي السَّيْرِ لِيَلْحَقُوا بِمُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَسْكَرِهِ فَيَكُونُوا مَعَهُمْ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَكاً فَضَرَبَ وُجُوهَ دَوَابِّهِمْ فَرَدَّهُمْ إِلَى عَسْكَرِ فِرْعَوْنَ فَكَانُوا فِيمَنْ غَرِقَ مَعَ فِرْعَوْنَ ‘When Musa -as diverted along with the ones who were with him -as fleeing towards the sea from Pharaoh -la , they rode their animals and hastened in the riding in order to meet up with Musa -as and his -as army so that they could be with them.
