Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Qasas 28:23

Word by word

وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَآءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ ۖ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۖ قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِى حَتَّىٰ يُصْدِرَ ٱلرِّعَآءُ ۖ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ

And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

( ولما ورد ماء مدين ) أي : ولما وصل إلى مدين وورد ماءها ، وكان لها بئر ترده رعاء الشاء ( وجد عليه أمة من الناس ) أي : جماعة ( يسقون ووجد من دونهم امرأتين تذودان ) أي : تكفكفان غنمهما أن ترد مع غنم أولئك الرعاء لئلا يؤذيا . فلما رآهما موسى ، عليه السلام ، رق لهما ورحمهما ، ( قال ما خطبكما ) أي : ما خبركما لا تردان مع هؤلاء ؟ ( قالتا لا نسقي حتى يصدر الرعاء ) أي : لا يحصل لنا سقي إلا بعد فراغ هؤلاء ، ( وأبونا شيخ كبير ) أي : فهذا الحال الملجئ لنا إلى ما ترى .
