Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.
وَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ تِلْقَآءَ مَدْيَنَ قَالَ عَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِى سَوَآءَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ
And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."
( ولما توجه تلقاء مدين ) أي : أخذ طريقا سالكا مهيعا فرح بذلك ، ( قال عسى ربي أن يهديني سواء السبيل ) أي : إلى الطريق الأقوم . ففعل الله به ذلك ، وهداه إلى الصراط المستقيم في الدنيا والآخرة ، فجعل هاديا مهديا .
