وَدَخَلَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ هَـٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَـٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ ۖ فَٱسْتَغَـٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِى مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِى مِنْ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ۖ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوٌّ مُّضِلٌّ مُّبِينٌ

Il entra dans la ville à un moment d'inattention de ses habitants; il y trouva deux hommes qui se battaient, l'un était de ses partisans et l'autre de ses adversaires. L'homme de son parti l'appela au secours contre son ennemi. Moïse lui donna un coup de poing qui l'acheva. - [Moïse] dit: «Cela est l'œuvre du Diable. C'est vraiment un ennemi, un égareur évident».

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."

Tafsir

Moïse entra dans la ville au moment où les habitants se prélassaient et y trouva deux hommes qui se battaient. L’un d’eux était un Israélite et appartenait donc au peuple de Moïse tandis que l’autre était un Copte et appartenait donc au peuple ennemi de Moïse. Le compatriote de Moïse l’appela à son secours et Moïse asséna un coup de poing au Copte qui tomba mort, sachant que Moïse était doté d’une grande force. Moïse dit: Cet acte m’a été embelli par Satan et Satan est un ennemi déclaré qui égare ceux qui l’écoutent. Ce que j’ai commis a pour cause son hostilité pour moi et son désir de m’égarer.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

And when he reached maturity, and was complete, We bestowed on him Hukm and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good (14)And he entered the city when its people were unaware: and he found there two men fighting, – one of his party, and the other of his foes. The man of his (own) party asked him for help against his foe, so Musa struck him with his fist and he died. He said: "This is of Shaytan's doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy. (15)He said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, so forgive me." Then He forgave him. Verily, He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful (16)He said: "My Lord! For that with which You have favored me, I will nevermore be a helper of the criminals! (17) How Musa killed a Coptic Man Having described Musa's beginnings, Allah then tells us that when he reached maturity, and was complete in stature, Allah gave him Hukm and religious knowledge. Mujahid said that this means prophethood. وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ (And thus do We reward the doers of good.) Then Allah describes how Musa reached the status that was decreed for him, that of Prophethood and speaking to Allah, as a direct consequence of killing the Coptic, which was the reason why he left Egypt and went to Madyan. Allah says: وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا (And he entered the city when its people were unaware.) Ibn Jurayj narrated from 'Ata' Al-Khurasani, from Ibn 'Abbas, "That was between Maghrib and 'Isha'." Ibn Al-Munkadir narrated from 'Ata' bin Yasar from Ibn 'Abbas, "That was in the middle of the day." This was also the view of Sa'id bin Jubayr, 'Ikrimah, As-Suddi and Qatadah. فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ (and he found there two men fighting,) meaning, hitting one another and struggling with one another. هَٰذَا مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ (one of his party,) meaning, an Israelite, وَهَٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ (and the other of his foes.) meaning, a Coptic. This was the view of Ibn 'Abbas, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Muhammad bin Ishaq. The Israelite man asked Musa, peace be upon him, for help, and Musa took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, so he went to the Coptic man and فَوَكَزَهُ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيْهِ (so Musa struck him with his fist and he died.) Mujahid said, "This means he punched him with his fist." And then he died. قَالَ (He said) refers to Musa. هَٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ مُضِلٌّ مُبِينٌ - قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ - قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ ("This is of Shaytan's doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy." He said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, so forgive me." Then He forgave him. Verily, He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. He said: "My Lord! For that with which You have favored me,) meaning, 'what You have given me of prestige, power and blessings – ' فَلَنْ أَكُونَ ظَهِيرًا (I will nevermore be a helper of the criminals!) 'those who disbelieve in You and go against Your commands.'
