﴿So he watered﴾ that is: Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, ﴿for both of them﴾ when he knew their necessity, seizing the opportunity for reward and noble character in assisting the weak, along with what he was experiencing of fatigue and hunger. ﴿Then he turned away﴾ that is: Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, turned away, making his back face what his face was facing. ﴿To the shade﴾ that is: to rest under it and take a break, turning towards the Creator after he had fulfilled his advice to the creatures. He recognized that a place hardly lacks something that has a shadow, especially the places of water. ﴿He said﴾ because there is no deficiency in complaining to the Most High, the Absolute Rich. ﴿My Lord﴾

He said: ﴿You have sent down﴾ and perhaps he omitted the return for brevity due to his fatigue. ﴿To me of good﴾ that is: even if it is little. ﴿I am poor﴾ that is: in need. From Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them, that he had reached such a state of distress that his stomach turned green from eating herbs and he weakened until his stomach stuck to his back. So look at these two prophets, blessings and peace be upon them, in their condition with what they had in their hands, and they are the essence of that time, so that you may have in that an example, and make it an imam and a role model, and say: O my father and mother! What the prophets and the righteous have faced of hardship and terrors in the prison of this world, a protection for them from it and honor from their Lord away from it, an elevation of their ranks with Him, and a belittling of it, even if the ignorant and deluded think otherwise. And in the story is encouragement towards good, and urging towards cooperation in righteousness, and a call to give kindness with effort.
