Commentary
It is said: The man is the believer of Pharaoh's people, and he was a cousin of Pharaoh. And 'yas'aa' can be understood as an elevation and description of a man, and its standing can be a state of him, because it has been specified by the description with his saying 'from the farthest part of the city.' And if it is made a connection for 'ja'a,' it is not permissible in 'yas'aa' except as a description. And 'al-aitimaar' means consultation. It is said: The two men consult each other and give advice to one another, because each one of them commands his companion about something or advises him about a matter. And the meaning is: They consult because of you, for there is clarification, and it is not a connection of the sincere advisors.
