we afflicted pharaohs people with shortages of food and famine so that they might take heed then when something good came to them they said it is our due! but when something bad came they ascribed it as an illomen to moses and those with him. surely their fortune had been decreed by god but most of them did not know this.
ولقد أخذنا آل فرعون بالسنين ونقص من الثمرات لعلهم يذكرون فإذا جاءتهم الحسنة قالوا لنا هذه وإن تصبهم سيئة يطيروا بموسى ومن معه ألا إنما طائرهم عند الله ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
