The Admission of Mistaken Killing by Sayyiduna Musa (Moses) ؑ:
Musa (Moses) ؑ considered the second of Pharaoh’s two statements more important and replied to it, saying that he was indeed guilty of killing the Copt. But he did not commit this killing intentionally; rather, it happened unknowingly as a mistake. He had no intention of killing, nor did he use any instrument that could be used for killing. His only fault was that a man from his own Israelite people was being wronged by a man from Pharaoh’s Coptic people. The Israelite cried out for help in front of him. When he saw that the Copt was the aggressor and the Israelite was oppressed, he supported the oppressed and struck the Copt with his fist. It so happened that the Copt died. He did not do this with any evil intention. Yes, when he found out that plans were being made to punish him, he considered it safer to flee. Thus, whatever fault Musa ؑ had in this incident, he openly admitted it before Pharaoh. As for the matter that now he was claiming prophethood, whereas he had never said such a thing before, the answer is that after he fled from there, Allah Almighty granted him prophethood and wisdom after a long time, and along with that, commanded him to come to Pharaoh and deliver His message.
