The meaning of «آنست‏» is: "I have seen a fire (you stay here), I will bring you a spark from it." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The meaning of «مقدس» is "blessed." «طوى‏» was the name of the valley where Allah the Exalted spoke to Musa (peace be upon him). «سيرتها‏» means "to the former state." «النهى‏» means "piety." «بملكنا‏» means "by your own choice." «هوى‏» means "became wretched." «فارغا‏» means "no thought remained in the heart except of Musa." «ردءا» means "helper or supporter." Both «يبطش بضم طا» and «يبطش بكسر طا» are valid recitations. «يأتمرون‏» means "they consult." «جذوة» means "a thick piece of wood from which no flame comes out (only fire is lit at its tip)." «سنشد‏ عضدك» means "they will help you." When you strengthen something, it is as if you have given it an «عضد» (arm). (All these explanations are narrated from Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both.) Others have said: The meaning of «عقدة» is that not a single letter, even "ta" or "fa," should come out from the tongue. «أزري‏» means "back." «فيسحتكم‏» means "may he destroy you." «المثلى‏» is the feminine of «الأمثل» , meaning "they want to corrupt your religion."

The Arabs say: "Today, did you go to «صف» or not?" meaning "to the place of prayer." «فأوجس‏» means "the heart of Musa began to beat." The root of «خيفة‏» was «خوفة‏» , but due to «كسره ما قبل» , the "waw" was changed to "ya." «في جذوع النخل‏» means «على جذوع النخل‏» . «خطبك‏» means "your condition." «مساس‏» is a verbal noun from «ماسه» «مساسا» . «لا مساس‏» means "neither should it touch you, nor you touch anyone." «لننسفنه‏» means "We will turn it to ashes and scatter it in the river." «لا تضحي» is from «ضحى» , meaning "heat." «قصيه‏» means "follow behind it." Sometimes the meaning of «قصص» is "to say" and "to explain." (In Surah Yusuf) From this comes «نحن نقص عليك‏» . The words «عن جنب‏» , «عن جنابة» , and «عن اجتناب» all have the same meaning, i.e., "from afar." Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said «على قدر‏» means "upon the promise." «لا تنيا‏» means "do not be lazy." «يبسا‏» means "dry." «من زينة القوم‏» means "from the jewelry which the Children of Israel had borrowed from the people of Pharaoh." «فقذفتها‏» means "I threw it." «ألقى‏» means "I made." «فنسي‏» means that Samiri and his people say that Musa (peace be upon him) made a mistake by not considering this calf as God and going elsewhere. «أن لا يرجع إليهم قولا» means "that calf could not answer their words."

Narrated Malik bin Sasaa: Allah's Apostle talked to his companions about his Night Journey to the Heavens. When he reached the fifth Heaven, he met Aaron. (Gabriel said to the Prophet), "This is Aaron." The Prophet said, "Gabriel greeted and so did I, and he returned the greeting saying, 'Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet."
