Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Musa before Fir`awn and His People
Allah tells:
فَلَمَّا جَاءهُم مُّوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالُوا ...
Then when Musa came to them with Our Clear Ayat, they said:
Allah tells us how Musa and his brother Harun came before Fir`awn and his chiefs, and showed them the clear miracles and overwhelming proof that Allah had given them to confirm the truth of what they were saying about Allah being One and that His commandments were to be followed.
Fir`awn and his chiefs saw that with their own eyes and realized that it was certainly from Allah, but because of their disbelief and sin they resorted to stubbornness and false arguments. This was because they were too evil and arrogant to follow the truth. They said:
... مَا هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّفْتَرًى ...
This is nothing but invented magic.
meaning, fabricated and made up. They wanted to oppose him by means of their own tricks and their position and power, but this did not work.
... وَمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَذَا فِي آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾
Never did we hear of this among our fathers of old.
They were referring worshipping Allah Alone, with no partner or associate. They said: "We have never seen anyone among our forefathers following this religion; we have only ever seen people associating other gods in worship with Allah.
تفسير ابن كثير
يخبر تعالى عن مجيء موسى وأخيه هارون إلى فرعون وملئه وعرضه ما آتاهما الله من المعجزات الباهرة والدلالة القاهرة على صدقهما فيما أخبرا به عن الله عز وجل توحيده واتباع أوامره فلما عاين فرعون وملؤه ذلك وشاهدوه وتحققوه وأيقنوا أنه من عند الله عدلوا بكفرهم وبغيهم إلى العناد والمباهتة وذلك لطغيانهم وتكبرهم عن اتباع الحق فقالوا : " ما هذا إلا سحر مفترى " أي مفتعل مصنوع وأرادوا معارضته بالحيلة والجاه فما صعد معهم ذلك وقوله : " وما سمعنا بهذا في آبائنا الأولين " يعنون عبادة الله وحده لا شريك له يقولون ما رأينا أحدا من آبائنا على هذا الدين ولم نر الناس إلا يشركون مع الله آلهة أخرى .
