Transliteration:( Fa araahul-aayatal kubra. )
9. It means the walking stick through which Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) had shown many miracles: it would turn into a snake, was serving as a bucket and rope to draw water from the well, elongate according to the depth, it would act as the guard when Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) would sleep, at night it would become bright like a torch, it would assist in caring for the goats, when falling on a stone it would gush out water like a fountain and it would split the water of the sea by coming into contact with it(Tafseer Azizi)..
The tafsir of Surah An-Naziat verse 20 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Naziat ayat 15 which provides the complete commentary from verse 15 through 26.
(79:20) Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign;[9]
9. The great sign: The turning of the staff into a serpent, as has been mentioned at several places in the Quran. Obviously there could be no greater sign than that a lifeless staff should turn into a living serpent right in front of the eyes of the people, that it should devour the artificial serpents produced by the magicians out of their staffs and cords, and when the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) should pick it up, it should become a walking stick again. This was proof that it was Allah, Lord of the worlds, Who had sent Moses (peace be upon him) as a Prophet.
[1842]- i.e., the miracle of his staff becoming a great snake.
