وَاَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوۡسٰٓى اَنۡ اَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِىۡۤ اِنَّكُمۡ مُّتَّبَعُوۡنَ‏  ﴿ 26:52﴾ فَاَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِى الۡمَدَآئِنِ حٰشِرِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ﴿ 26:53﴾ اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٌ قَلِيۡلُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿ 26:54﴾ وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَـنَا لَـغَآئِظُوۡنَۙ‏ ﴿ 26:55﴾ وَاِنَّا لَجَمِيۡعٌ حٰذِرُوۡنَؕ‏ ﴿ 26:56﴾ فَاَخۡرَجۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۙ‏ ﴿ 26:57﴾ وَّكُنُوۡزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏ ﴿ 26:58﴾ كَذٰلِكَؕ وَاَوۡرَثۡنٰهَا بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ‏ ﴿ 26:59﴾ فَاَ تۡبَعُوۡهُمۡ مُّشۡرِقِيۡنَ‏ ﴿ 26:60﴾ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَ الۡجَمۡعٰنِ قَالَ اَصۡحٰبُ مُوۡسٰٓى اِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُوۡنَ​ۚ‏  ﴿ 26:61﴾ قَالَ كَلَّا​​ ۚ اِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّىۡ سَيَهۡدِيۡنِ‏ ﴿ 26:62﴾ فَاَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوۡسٰٓى اَنِ اضۡرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الۡبَحۡرَ​ؕ فَانْفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٍ كَالطَّوۡدِ الۡعَظِيۡمِ​ۚ‏ ﴿ 26:63﴾ وَاَزۡلَـفۡنَا ثَمَّ الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ﴿ 26:64﴾ وَاَنۡجَيۡنَا مُوۡسٰى وَمَنۡ مَّعَهٗۤ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ​ۚ‏ ﴿ 26:65﴾ ثُمَّ اَغۡرَقۡنَا الۡاٰخَرِيۡنَ​ؕ‏ ﴿ 26:66﴾ اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاَيَةً ​ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏ ﴿ 26:67﴾ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الرَّحِيۡمُ‏ ﴿ 26:68﴾

(26:52) We revealed to Moses:41 "Set forth with My servants by night for you will be pursued."42 (26:53) Then Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities (to mobilise troops) (26:54) saying: "These (Israelites) are only a small band of people (26:55) who have certainly provoked our wrath. (26:56) But we are a numerous host, ever on guard."43 (26:57) Thus did We drive them out of their gardens and springs (26:58) and their treasures and excellent dwellings.44 (26:59) This happened with them; (but on the other hand), We enabled the Children of Israel to inherit those bounties.45 (26:60) At sunrise they set off in pursuit of them (26:61) and when the groups came face to face, the companions of Moses cried out: "We are overtaken!" (26:62) Moses said: "Certainly not. My Lord is with me; He will direct me."46 (26:63) Then We revealed to Moses, (commanding him): "Strike the sea with your rod." Thereupon the sea split up, and then each became like the mass of a huge mount.47 (26:64) We also brought the other party close to the same spot, (26:65) and We delivered Moses and his companions, all of them, (26:66) then We drowned the others.48 (26:67) Surely there is a Sign in this,49 but most of them would not believe. (26:68) Verily your Lord is Immensely Mighty, Ever Compassionate.
