Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : ((pharaoh) said: if thou choosest) if you worship (a god other than me) o moses, (i assuredly shall place thee among the prisoners) his prisons were worse than death, for he used to put people in complete isolation, unable to see or hear anyone.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : he, pharaoh, said, to moses: ‘if you choose any god other than me, i will surely make you a prisoner!’. his [pharaoh’s] prison was very harsh, for a person would be shut up [in a dungeon] underground alone, where he could neither see nor hear anyone else.
