وَدَخَلَ And he entered ٱلْمَدِينَةَ the city عَلَىٰ at حِينِ a time غَفْلَةٍۢ (of) inattention مِّنْ of أَهْلِهَا its people فَوَجَدَ and found فِيهَا therein رَجُلَيْنِ two men يَقْتَتِلَانِ fighting each other هَـٰذَا this مِن of شِيعَتِهِۦ his party وَهَـٰذَا and this مِنْ of عَدُوِّهِۦ ۖ his enemy فَٱسْتَغَـٰثَهُ And called him for help ٱلَّذِى the one who مِن (was) from شِيعَتِهِۦ his party عَلَى against ٱلَّذِى the one who مِنْ (was) from عَدُوِّهِۦ his enemy فَوَكَزَهُۥ so Musa struck him with his fist مُوسَىٰ so Musa struck him with his fist فَقَضَىٰ and killed him عَلَيْهِ ۖ and killed him قَالَ He said هَـٰذَا This (is) مِنْ of عَمَلِ (the) deed ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ (of) Shaitaan إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, he عَدُوٌّۭ (is) an enemy مُّضِلٌّۭ one who misleads مُّبِينٌۭ clearly ١٥

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."

And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."
