Quran 26 Verse 33 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ash-Shu’ara ayat 33, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(26:33) and he drew his hand (out of his armpit) and lo! it had become a shining object to the beholders.[28]
28. Some commentators under the influence of the Israelite traditions have translated baida as white and have taken it to mean that the healthy hand when drawn out of the armpit became white as if struck by leprosy. But commentators like Ibn Jarir, Ibn Kathir, Zamakhshari, Razi, Abul Saud Imadi, Alusi and others agree that baida here means shining and bright. As soon as Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) took his hand out from the armpit, it made the whole place bright as if by the sun. For further explanation, see (Surah TaHa, ayat 22) note 13.
