14-1. This is a reference to the killing that happened unintentionally by Musa (علیہ السلام), and the slain person was a Copt, that is, from the people of Pharaoh. Therefore, Pharaoh wanted to kill Musa (علیہ السلام) in retaliation, and upon learning of this, Musa (علیہ السلام) left Egypt for Madyan. Although several years had passed since this incident, there was indeed a possibility that by going to Pharaoh, he might try to capture Musa (علیہ السلام) for this crime and sentence him to death. Therefore, this fear was not without reason.
