Sura 26
Aya 19
19
وَفَعَلتَ فَعلَتَكَ الَّتي فَعَلتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الكافِرينَ

Muhammad Asad

And yet thou didst conimit that [heinous] deed of thine,1 and [hast thus shown that] thou art one of the ingrate!"
  • Lit., "thou didst commit thy deed which thou hast committed" - 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 aJlusions to Moses' childhood and youth at Pharaoh's court, the manslaughter committed by him, and his flight from Egypt, see 28:4-22.
