ٱلْقَصَص : ٣٤

  • وَأَخِي And my brother
  • هَٰرُونُ Harun
  • هُوَ he
  • أَفۡصَحُ (is) more eloquent
  • مِنِّي than me
  • لِسَانٗا (in) speech
  • فَأَرۡسِلۡهُ so send him
  • مَعِيَ with me
  • رِدۡءٗا (as) a helper
  • يُصَدِّقُنِيٓۖ who will confirm me
  • إِنِّيٓ Indeed
  • أَخَافُ I fear
  • أَن that
  • يُكَذِّبُونِ they will deny me
And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me."
And my brother Aaron is more eloquent, more intelligible, than me in speech. So send him with me as a helper, as an aid (a variant reading [for rid'an, 'helper'] is ridan) to confirm me (read [either] in apocopated form, yusadiqnee, as a response to the request, or [as an indicative] with damma inflection, yusadiqunee, as an adjectival qualification of rid'an, 'helper'), for I truly fear that they will deny me'.
