Surah 26. Ash-Shu'araa, Ayah 19
| وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ |
| Asad | : | And yet thou didst commit that [heinous] deed of thine,10 and [hast thus shown that] thou art one of the ingrate!" |
| Malik | : | Then you did what you did; you are so ungrateful!" |
| Pickthall | : | And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates, |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!" 3148 |
| Transliteration | : | WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAalta waanta mina alkafireena |
Note - 10Lit., "thou didst commit thy deed which thou hast
commited" - a construction meant to express the speaker's
utter condemnation of the deed referred to: hence, my
interpolation of the word "heinous". As regards the above
allusions to Moses' childhood and youth at Pharaoh's
court, the manslaughter committed by him, and his flight
from Egypt, see {28:4-22}.

Note - 3148Further, Pharaoh reminds Moses of his having slain the
Egyptian, and taunts him: "You are not only a murderer:
you are an ungrateful wretch" (using kafir again in a
double sense) "to have killed one of the race that
brought you up!"
