﴿So he left﴾ meaning: Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, hastening ﴿from it﴾ meaning: the city, because he knew of the truth of his words from the signs surrounding him, while he was ﴿afraid﴾ for his life from the people of Pharaoh. ﴿He was watching﴾ meaning: he frequently turned his neck in different directions, looking to see if anyone was following him; then he reached on the way to continue his words: ﴿He said﴾ meaning: Musa, blessings and peace be upon him: ﴿O my Lord﴾ [meaning:] O You who are gracious to me with creation, upbringing, and other forms of kindness, ﴿Save me﴾ meaning: rescue me, derived from [UNTRANSLATED-LATIN:najwah], which is the high place that no one can reach. ﴿From the wrongdoing people﴾ meaning: those who place matters inappropriately and kill those who do not deserve to be killed, despite their power. So Allah responded to him and guided him to take the greatest path towards Madian, and that was the reason for his salvation. This is because those who had set out to pursue him were certain that he would not take the greater path, following the habit of the fearful fleeing ones in walking hastily, or taking the winding paths, so they turned away in what they thought was right and left, and they missed him.
