This short and quick episode about Moses occurs immediately after God has assured the Prophet of his divine revelations: “Most certainly, you receive the Qur’ān out of the grace of One who is Wise, All-Knowing.” (Verse 6) It is as though the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was being told that receiving such revelations was not a new phenomenon without precedent in history. Here, we see Moses being assigned his mission. He was called from on high to deliver the message to Pharaoh and his people. Similarly, the Prophet was told that the opposition he met with and the accusations levelled at him by his people were nothing new. Moses’ people were certain at heart that the signs they were shown were the work of none other than God but, in their wicked arrogance, they nevertheless denied them. The end those evildoers of old met should be reflected upon, for his own people who were also stubborn in their rejection of the truth of the divine message could face a similar end.

“Musa ya ce wa iyalinsa: Ina hangen wuta. Zan kawo muku daga can wani labari, ko kuma in kawo muku wani garwashi domin ku dumama kanku.” (Aya ta 7) Wannan lamari, wanda aka ambata a cikin Suratu 20, Ṭā Hā, ya faru ne a lokacin da Musa yake kan hanyarsa ta komawa Masar daga Madyan, tare da matarsa, 'yar Shu'aibu (amincin Allah ya tabbata a gare shi).5 Da alama ya ɓace hanya a wani dare mai duhu da sanyi. Wannan yana nuna ta yadda ya ce wa matarsa zai kawo labari ko fitila domin su samu ɗumi. Wannan ya faru kusa da Dutsen Sina, wanda ake kira al-Ṭūr a harshen Larabci.

“Moses said to his family: I perceive a fire. I will bring you from there some information, or else, I will bring you a burning brand so that you may warm yourselves.” (Verse 7) This event, which is mentioned in Sūrah 20, Ţā Hā, took place when Moses was on his way back from Madyan to Egypt, accompanied by his wife, the daughter of Shu`ayb (peace be upon him).5 He apparently lost his way on a dark cold night. This is suggested by him saying to his wife that he would bring information or a torch to give them some warmth. This occurred close to Mount Sinai, called al-Ţūr in Arabic.

Mazauna hamada sukan kunna wuta a wurare masu tsayi domin su ba matafiya da ke tafiya da dare jagora. Idan matafiya sun isa wurin wutar, sukan samu karimci da dumi, ko kuma a kalla a nuna musu hanya su ci gaba da tafiyarsu.

Desert dwellers used to light fires on high ground so as to provide guidance to night travellers. When such travellers arrived at the fire, they would be given hospitality and warmth, or at least be guided on their way.

“Ina hangen wuta.” Wannan shi ne abin da Musa ya fara fada a lokacin da ya ga wutar. Kalmar Larabci ānast, ma’ana ‘ya hangi’, tana da ma’ana ta abota da kwanciyar hankali. Saboda haka, maganarsa tana nufin: Ina ganin wuta mai maraba wadda ya kamata ta ba mu wani ta’aziyya. Za mu iya neman hanya wadda za ta nuna mana ta inda za mu bi, kuma za mu iya samun wani itace mai wuta domin mu dumama kanmu. Yayin da Musa yake tafiya zuwa wutar, sai ya ji kira daga sama: “Amma da ya zo kusa da ita, sai aka yi masa magana: Albarka ta tabbata ga waɗanda ke cikin wuta da waɗanda ke kewaye da ita! Kuma tsarkakakke ne Allah, Ubangijin talikai!” (Ayoyi 8-9) “Ya Musa! Lalle ni, ni ne Allah, Mabuwayi, Mai hikima!”

“I perceive a fire.” This is what Moses first said on sighting the fire. The Arabic text uses the verb ānast for ‘perceive’ which carries connotations of friendliness. Thus, his words sound like: I can see a welcoming fire which should give us some comfort. We can ask directions which should tell us which way to go, and we could get a brand to warm ourselves. As Moses walked towards the fire, he received the call from on high: “But when he came close to it, he was addressed: Blessed are those in the fire and those around it! And limitless in His glory is God, the Lord of all the worlds. Moses! Truly, I am alone God, the Almighty, the Wise!’“ (Verses 8-9)
