The Holy Quran 26:21 — Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Arabic text

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

Translation

"I then fled from you people when I feared (that) you (would not understand my case and kill me in retaliation). My Rabb then granted me wisdom and included me among those sent (to people as Ambiyaa)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, I did indeed flee from here out of fear. But it pleased Almighty Allah to grant me prophethood and wisdom. Out of His grace He exalted me and sent me to you as a messenger. This in itself is proof of my truthfulness: that a man who fled out of fear of you should then come before you like this, alone and without fear or danger, and stand firm.
