40.28

وَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ ﳓ مِّنْ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ یَكْتُمُ اِیْمَانَهٗۤ اَتَقْتُلُوْنَ رَجُلًا اَنْ یَّقُوْلَ رَبِّیَ اللّٰهُ وَ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ مِنْ رَّبِّكُمْؕ-وَ اِنْ یَّكُ كَاذِبًا فَعَلَیْهِ كَذِبُهٗۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّكُ صَادِقًا یُّصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِیْ یَعِدُكُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ(28)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And a believer from the People of Pharaoh who used to conceal his faith[1] said, “Will you kill a man because he says, ‘My Lord is Allah’, and he has brought clear signs to you from your Lord? And if he is mistaken in speech, then the calamity of his ˹supposed˺ mistake is upon him; and if he is truthful, you will be afflicted with part of that ˹punishment˺ which he promises you. Indeed Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor, an excessive liar.

Commentary

This believer was the paternal cousin of Pharaoh. He believed in Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام but would conceal his faith from Pharaoh and his people because he feared for his life. He is the same person who attained salvation alongside Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. According to another narration, this individual was an Israelite who concealed his faith from Pharaoh and his people.
