Al-Qashash · Ayah 15 · Juz 20 · Page 387

وَدَخَلَ ٱلۡمَدِينَةَ عَلَىٰ حِينِ غَفۡلَةٖ مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهَا فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَجُلَيۡنِ يَقۡتَتِلَانِ هَٰذَا مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ وَهَٰذَا مِنۡ عَدُوِّهِۦۖ فَٱسۡتَغَٰثَهُ ٱلَّذِي مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ عَلَى ٱلَّذِي مِنۡ عَدُوِّهِۦ فَوَكَزَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ فَقَضَىٰ عَلَيۡهِۖ قَالَ هَٰذَا مِنۡ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَدُوّٞ مُّضِلّٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٥

Wa dakhalal-madīnata ʿalā ḥīni ghaflatim min ahlihā fawajada fīhā rajulayni yaqtatilāni hādhā min shīʿatihī wa hādhā min ʿaduwwih, fastaghāthahul-ladhī min shīʿatihī ʿalal-ladhī min ʿaduwwihī fawakazahū mūsā faqaḍā ʿalayh, qāla hādhā min ʿamalish-shayṭān, innahū ʿaduwwum muḍillum mubīn.

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people1 and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."
