130. And We straitened
Pharaoh’s folk with famine and dearth of fruits, that peradventure they might
heed.
131. So whenever good
befell them, they said: This is ours; and whenever evil smote them they
scribed it to the evil auspices of Moses and those with him. Surely their
evil auspice was only with Allah, but most of them knew not.

Commentary
Si-niina –
(the years), this word is plural of sanatun, which means “a year”.
The meaning from “straitening since years” is that “famine and dearth of fruits
used to come on them every year”.
Yat-tayyaruu –
(took bad omens, foreboding), origin of this word is tayyarun,
which has been derived from tayr. Tayr means “bird”. Those
people used to take bad omens by means of the birds, so the meaning of yat-tayyaruu has
become “to take omen”.
They
used to take omens in such way that: If someone devised to do any work but any
bird flew away from front, they used to say: Now we shall not do this work,
because flying of any bird at the time of correct work; is a bad symptom. The
word Taa-‘ir has been made from it also, which means a bird,
that is why; it also aims “misfortune, foreboding and wretchedness”.
Allah
Almighty commands: We sent down the disaster of famine on the nation of
Pharaoh. Fruits became scarce in the cities. Its actual object was that they
should fear and become human. But their brazen soared over. If there was good
condition, they used to say: It must be so, because we are honorable and decent
people. There is no reason of disaster’s coming on us.
If
any misfortune befell on them; they used to say: It entire (Let us flee to God)
is adversity of Moses (peace be upon Him) and His nation, effect of which; we
have to suffer. Whereas the Children of Israel were safe from every kind of
disaster due to the blessing of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), and which
disaster used to come down, that was on the people of Pharaoh only.
Those foolish
people could not understand that this all was result of their own wicked deeds,
which was being sent by Allah Almighty. Keeping in good condition and trapping
in bad condition; both are in the power of Allah Almighty. And He keeps someone
in good condition and someone in worse according to His customized expediency.
His aim from it is that the people should learn. Calamity and comfort both have
this virtue that they provide chance for the human being for turning unto the Real
Master (God Almighty).
