وَقَالَ مُوسَى رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ آتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَأَهُ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَالًا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا عَن سَبِيلِكَ رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الْأَلِيمَ
Moses said, ‘Our Lord! You have given Pharaoh and his elite glamour and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord, that they may lead [people] astray from Your way! Our Lord! Blot out their wealth and harden their hearts so that they do not believe until they sight the painful punishment.’
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 10:88
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 10:88] (see commentary for verse 75) Firawn and his chiefs had amassed abundant wealth which was the main cause of their refusal to believe in the message Musa brought for them, so Musa and Harun prayed to Allah to uproot the cause which made them persist in infidelity and hostility against Musa and Harun. Allah accepted their prayers.
