Daily Quran And Hadith,
English Translation of Al-Quran
[28].Surah Al-Qasas [The Narration]
Ayat 15. And he entered the city at a time of unawareness of its people, and he found there two men fighting, – one of his party (his religion – from the Children of Israel), and the other of his foes. The man of his (own) party asked him for help against his foe, so Musa PBUH (Moses) struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: "This is of Shaitan‘s (Satan) doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy."
Tafseer of Surah Al-Qasas (The Narration) Ayat 15. And he entered the city at a time when its people were not watching: and he found there two men fighting,- one of his own religion, and the other, of his foes. Now the man of his own religion appealed to him against his foe, and Moses struck him with his fist and made an end of him. He said: "This is a work of Evil (Satan): for he is an enemy that manifestly misleads!" That may have been either the time of the noontide siesta, when all business is suspended even now in Egypt , or the time of night, when people are usually asleep. The latter is more probable, in view of verse 18 below. But there is also another suggestion. A guest in a Palace is not free to wander about at will in the plebeian quarters of the City at all sorts of hours, and this applies even more to an inmate of the Palace brought up as a son. Moses was therefore visiting the City privately and eluding the guards. His object may have been to see for himself how things were going on; perhaps he had heard that his people were being oppressed, as we may suppose that he had retained contact with his mother. His object was apparently to strike him so as to release the Israelite, not to kill the Egyptian. In fact he killed the Egyptian. This was unfortunate in more ways than one. His visit to the City was clandestine; he had taken the side of the weaker and despised party; and he had taken the life of an Egyptian. He was full of regrets and repentance, and he prayed to Allah, and obtained Allah’s forgiveness.
Hadith
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Suleiman bin Surad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) when two men began to quarrel and curse each other and the
face of one of them turned red and the veins of his neck were swollen
(from rage). Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "I know of a word, if he were to utter that, his
rage would vanish and that is: A’udhu billahi minash-Shaitan nir-rajim
(I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed).” So they
(Companions) said to him: "The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) tells you to utter: ‘I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed".[Muslim Book.08, Chapter 73, Hadith # 74].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 15. “This is of Shaitan‘s (Satan) doing, verily, he is a plain misleading enemy” In the event of rage if a person becomes conscious that what he is feeling is a suggestion from Satan, he should prevent himself from it; this consciousness is the best remedy to overcome the rage. Those who are easily infuriated could make use of this prescription.

English Translation of Al-Quran
[28].Surah Al-Qasas [The Narration]
Ayat 12. And We had already forbidden (other) foster suckling mothers for him, until she (his sister came up and) said: "Shall I direct you to a household who will rear him for you, and sincerely they will look after him in a good manner?"
Ayat 13. So did We restore him to his mother, that she might be delighted, and that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the Promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.
Tafseer of Surah Al-Qasas (The Narration) Ayat 12 & 13. And we ordained that he refused suck at first, until (His sister came up and) said: "Shall I point out to you the people of a house that will nourish and bring him up for you(3338) and be sincerely attached to him?"… 3338 For you: i.e., on your behalf. Thus Moses got the benefit of his mother’s milk (symbolical of all the traditions and spiritual heritage of his ancestry and his people) as well as the prestige and the opportunities of being brought up in the royal family, with the best of teachers to teach him Egyptian wisdom. In addition, there was the comfort to his mother. Thus did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted, that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true: but most of them do not understand. Allah’s promise is always true, but short-sighted people, if they are a little thwarted in their plan, do not understand that Allah’s wisdom, power, and goodness are far more comprehensive than any little plans which they may form.
Hadith
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "When a Muslim, or a believer, washes his face (in
the course of Wudu’), every sin which he committed with his eyes, will
be washed away from his face with water, or with the last drop of water;
when he washes his hands, every sin which is committed by his hands
will be effaced from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of
water; and when he washes his feet, every sin his feet committed will be
washed away with the water, or with the last drop of water; until he
finally emerges cleansed of all his sins.”[Muslim Book # 02, Chapter # 07, Hadith # 0475].
Lesson : This Hadith has the same meaning mentioned in another Hadith. That is to say, such minor sins are washed off by Wudu’. In other words, Wudu’ is a means of purification of the body as well as the soul.
