The Holy Quran 27:7 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهْلِهِۦٓ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ

Translation

(Remember the time) When Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام said to his family (his wife, after they lost their way en route to Egypt), "I notice a fire. I shall shortly bring you some news (directions from the people at the fire) or a burning stake so that you may warm yourselves."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Musa ﵇ goes to the mountain to fetch fire: [Musa ﵇] said this when, travelling from Madyan, he drew near the valley of Tuwa, having lost his way on a dark night of severe cold. The detailed account has already passed in the commentary on Surah Taha; it may be consulted there.
