قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

سرانجام موّمن آل فرعون

تعبیر «سیئات ما مکروا» نشان می‌دهد که توطئثه‌های گوناگونی بر ضد موّْمن آل فرعون چیدند؛ اما این توطئه‌ها چه بوده» قرآن سربسته بیان کرده است. طبعاً انواع مجازات‌ها و شکنجه‌ها و سرانجام قتل و اعدام بوده که لطف الهی هم آنها را خنثی کرده است. در بعضی از تفاسیر آمده است که او در فرصتی مناسب خود را به موسی(ع) رسانید و همراه بنی‌اسرائیل از دریا عبور کرد. همچنین گفته شده است: وقتی فرعونیان تصمیم گرفتند او را به قتل برسانندء او به کوهی گریخت و از نظرها پنهان گشت. البته این دو سخن با هم منافاتی ندارند و ممکن است او نخست در بیرون شهر مخفی شده باشد تا بعداً به بنی‌اسرائیل ملحق گردد. همچنین ممکن است جزئی از توطئه‌های فرعونیان, توطئُةٌ تحمیل بت‌پرستی و بیرون کردن او از خط توحید بوده که خداوند این را هم از او بر طرف کرد و او را در مسیر ایمان» توحید و تقوی ثابت قدم نگه داشت.
