Arabic text

النضر عن محمد بن هاشم عن رجل عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن قوما ممن آمن بموسى عليه السلام قالوا: لو أتينا عسكر فرعون وكنا فيه ونلنا من دنياه فإذا كان الذي نرجوه من ظهور موسى صرنا إليه ففعلوا فلما توجه موسى ومن معه هاربين ركبوا دوابهم وأسرعوا في السير ليوافوا موسى ومن معه فيكونوا معهم فبعث الله ملائكة فضربت وجوه دوابهم فردتهم إلى عسكر فرعون فكانوا فيمن غرق مع فرعون.

Translation

7.Al-Naḍr narrated from Muḥammad ibn Hāshim, from a man [who reported it] from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said, “Verily a group of people who believed in Mūsā (a) said, ‘If we were to go to the army of Firʿawn and join it, we would acquire some of his worldly wealth, and then when what we hope for from the arrival of Mūsā transpires, we will go to him [and join him].’ So that is what they did. When Mūsā and those in his company turned to flee [from Firʿawn], they mounted their horses and speedily rode towards Mūsā, hoping to catch up with him and his companions in order to join them. But Allah sent angels who struck the faces of their mounts thereby causing them to return towards the army of Firʿawn. Hence, they were among those who drowned with Firʿawn.”
