Ghafir 40:24

<h2>The Story of Musa and Fir`awn</h2><p>Allah consoles His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for the disbelief of his people and gives him the glad tidings of good consequences and victory in this world and the Hereafter, as happened to Musa bin `Imran, peace be upon him, whom Allah sent with clear proof and definitive evidence. Allah says:</p><p>بِـَايَـتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ</p><p>(with Our Ayat, and a manifest authority).

This is like the Ayah:</p><p>كَذَلِكَ مَآ أَتَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ قَالُواْ سَـحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ - أَتَوَاصَوْاْ بِهِ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَـغُونَ</p><p>(Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!" Have they transmitted this saying to these Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!) (51:52-53)</p><p>فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِندِنَا</p><p>(Then, when he brought them the Truth from Us,) means, with definite evidence …
