Ayat 59. [Mûsa
(Moses)] said: "Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the
people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon)."
Ayat 60. So Firaun (Pharaoh) withdrew,
devised his plot and then came back.
Ayat 61. Mûsa (Moses) said to them: "Woe
unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He should destroy you completely
by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allah) will fail
miserably."
[Tafseer] A great day of a Temple Festival ,
when the temples and streets were decorated, and people were on holiday, free
from work. Moses
makes this appointment in order to collect as large a number Possible, for his
first duty is to preach the Truth. And he apparently did it with some effect
with some Egyptians, though the Pharaoh and his high and mighty officers
rejected the Truth and afterwards Paid the Penalty. Pharaoh was apparently taken aback
at Moses appointing a solemn day of public Festival, when there would be a large
concourse and there would sure to be some people not in the Court clique, who
might be critical of Pharaoh's own sorcerers. But probably there was something
more in their dark counsels, something unfair and wicked, to which Moses refers
in his speech in the next verse. Moses had some idea of their trickery and deceit. They would
palm off their fraudulent magic as coming from Allah or from their gods! He
warns them that their tricks will stand exposed, and their hopes will be
defeated.
Hazrat Hasan bin Ali
(May Allah be pleased with him) said: I remember (these words) from Messenger of
Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH): "Give up what is doubtful to you for that which is not doubtful;
for truth is peace of mind and falsehood is doubt".
[At-Tirmidhi, Hadith #
2518]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 61."And surely, he who
invents a lie (against Allah) will fail miserably." This Hadith leads us to the conclusion that one must always
avoid doubtful things so that he does not do anything unlawful. This message is
repeated in another Hadith which says that he who has saved himself from doubts
has in fact saved his Faith and
honour.
