۞ We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued." 52 Then Pharaoh sent among the cities musterers: 53 "There is a small group of people 54 And lo! they are offenders against us. 55 But we are a fully accounted army." 56 Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings, 57 and [deprived them of their erstwhile] station of honour!" 58 Thus it was: but [in the course of time] We were to bestow all these [things] as a heritage on the children of Israel. 59 So they pursued them at sunrise. 60 And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken." 61 Moses said: "Certainly not. My Lord is with me; He will direct me." 62 We commanded Moses: "Smite the sea with your staff." And it parted, and every parting was like a lofty mountain. 63 We also brought the other party close to the same spot, 64 and We delivered Moses and his companions, all of them, 65 and drowned the other party. 66 Indeed in this is surely a sign, and most of them were not Muslims. 67 Your Lord is certainly Majestic and All-merciful. 68
