7.142

وَ وٰعَدْنَا مُوْسٰى ثَلٰثِیْنَ لَیْلَةً وَّ اَتْمَمْنٰهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِیْقَاتُ رَبِّهٖۤ اَرْبَعِیْنَ لَیْلَةًۚ-وَ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِاَخِیْهِ هٰرُوْنَ اخْلُفْنِیْ فِیْ قَوْمِیْ وَ اَصْلِحْ وَ لَا تَتَّبِـعْ سَبِیْلَ الْمُفْسِدِیْنَ(142)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And We made a promise of thirty nights to Moosa and completed it by adding ten more to them; the promise of his Lord therefore amounted to forty nights, in full. And Moosa said to his brother Haaroon, 'Remain as my vicegerent upon my people, and reform (them) and follow not the way of the mischief-makers.'

Commentary

After the destruction of Pharaoh, Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام supplicated in the Court of Allah Almighty for the Revelation of the Torah, and he was commanded to spend thirty nights on Mount Sinai, which was a fasting period too. So he appointed his brother Hārūn عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام as his representative and set off towards Sinai. After spending thirty days on the mountain engaged in worship, Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام decided to use a tooth-stick (miswāk) to eliminate any odour from his mouth before supplication. After this, he was commanded to fast for another ten days.
