وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى حِينِ غَفْلَة ٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلاَنِ هَذَا مِنْ شِيعَتِه ِِ وَهَذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّه ِِ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذِي مِنْ شِيعَتِه ِِ عَلَى الَّذِي مِنْ عَدُوِّه ِِ فَوَكَزَه ُُ مُوسَى فَقَضَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هَذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ إِنَّه ُُ عَدُوّ ٌ مُضِلّ ٌ مُبِين ٌ

And he entered the city unexpectedly, without being noticed by the people. He found in it two men who were fighting, one was from his clan, and the other was from that of his enemy. So the one who was from his clan called on him for help against his enemy, whereby Moses punched him, killing him. He said: "This is from the work of the devil; he is an enemy that clearly misleads."

إِذْ تَسْتَغِيثُونَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ أَنِّي مُمِدُّكُمْ بِأَلْف ٍ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ مُرْدِفِينَ

You called on help from your Lord and He answered you: "I will provide you with one thousand angels as defenders."
18:29
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَاراً أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاء ٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوه ََ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقا ً

And say: "The truth is from your Lord, so let whoever desires believe, and whoever desires reject." We have prepared for the wicked a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they cry out, they are given a water like boiling oil which burns their faces. What a dreadful drink and what a miserable place!

وَالَّذِي قَالَ لِوَالِدَيْهِ أُفّ ٍ لَكُمَا أَتَعِدَانِنِي أَنْ أُخْرَجَ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ الْقُرُونُ مِنْ قَبْلِي وَهُمَا يَسْتَغِيثَانِ اللَّهَ وَيْلَكَ آمِنْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقّ ٌ فَيَقُولُ مَا هَذَا إِلاَّ أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ

And the one who says to his parents: Enough of you! Are you promising me that I will be resurrected, when the generations who died before me never came back? While they both will implore God: Woe to you; believe! For the promise of God is the truth. He would say: This is nothing except fictional tales of old!
