﴿ إِذْ رَءَا نَارًۭا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ ٱمْكُثُوٓا۟ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًۭا لَّعَلِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ هُدًۭى ﴾
“Lo! he saw a fire [in the desert]; and so he said to his family: "Wait here! Behold, I perceive a fire [far away]: perhaps I can bring you a brand there from, or find at the fire some guidance."”
(When he saw a fire) on his left side (and said unto his folk: Wait) stay here! (I see a fire afar off. Peradventure I may bring you a brand therefrom) a brand of fire from there, for that night was very cold, (or may find guidance at the Fire) to show me the way.
