Surah Al-Qasas (28) — Ayah 20
وَجَآءَ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ أَقْصَا ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْعَىٰ قَالَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّ ٱلْمَلَأَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بِكَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ فَٱخْرُجْ إِنِّى لَكَ مِنَ ٱلنَّـٰصِحِينَ ﴿20﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And there came a man running, from the farthest end of the city. He said: "O Mûsâ (Moses)! Verily, the chiefs are taking counsel together about you, to kill you, so escape. Truly, I am one of the good advisers to you."

And a man came running from the farthest end of the city and said, "O Moses! The chiefs are consulting about you [30] to kill you, so leave the city. Surely, I am a sincere well-wisher to you."

The Information Reaches Sayyiduna Musa ؑ About the Plot to Kill Him and His Departure Towards Madyan:
The courtiers of Pharaoh now had no doubt left that Musa, despite being a member of the royal family, was siding with the Children of Israel. Therefore, after mutual consultation, they decided that Musa should be killed. Among the courtiers, there was a man who was sincerely well-wishing towards Musa. He immediately got up from there and, running, reached Musa ؑ and said: As soon as possible, leave this city because there are discussions about killing you, and I have rushed here only with the thought that I should inform you of the real situation in time. Therefore, do not delay and immediately go far away from here.
