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

Al-Qasas 28:37

Word by word

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن جَآءَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ مِنْ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

فقال موسى ، عليه السلام ، مجيبا لهم : ( ربي أعلم بمن جاء بالهدى من عنده ) يعني : مني ومنكم ، وسيفصل بيني وبينكم . ولهذا قال : ( ومن تكون له عاقبة الدار ) أي : النصرة والظفر والتأييد ، ( إنه لا يفلح الظالمون ) أي : المشركون بالله .
