And when Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, understood from him what he wanted to result from engaging in that which had no benefit in terms of response and debate, and the Torah had not yet been revealed to him at that time, but rather it was revealed after the destruction of Fir'aun, he did not proceed with him in that. He said, cutting him off: "Its knowledge is with my Lord," meaning the One who is gracious to me by sending me and teaching me the arguments.

And when it was the habit of created beings to document news in books, and He, glorified and exalted is He, had appointed among His angels those who would preserve that, He said, addressing him in a way they know from their conditions: "In a book," meaning the preserved tablet. And when there might occur in the imagination of someone that the book would only be due to fear of forgetting something or ignorance of how to reach it while mentioning its essence, He negated that by saying: "My Lord does not err," meaning the One who has nurtured me as I have known, and has saved me from all that you intended for me of destruction, and He has not erred in any aspect of His aspects, nor has He forgotten any aspect from which anything could enter of deficiency.

"And He does not forget," meaning there does not occur from Him any forgetting of anything at all from His news nor of others. In this, there is an indication of reproaching the Jews that if the establishment of prophethood were to depend on the Prophet informing about everything he is asked about, they would have to hesitate regarding the prophethood of their Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, because he did not inform Fir'aun about what he asked him regarding the matter of the past generations.
