وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ذَرُونِيۤ أَقْتُلْ مُوسَىٰ وَلْيَدْعُ رَبَّهُ إِنِّيۤ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُـمْ أَوْ أَن يُظْهِرَ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ ٱلْفَسَادَ
٢٦
-Ghâfir ( غافر )

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

And Pharaoh said, ‘Let me slay Moses — for they used to restrain him from slaying him — and let him call to his Lord, to defend him against me. Indeed I fear that he may change your religion, [involving] your worship of me, so that you will then follow him [in his religion], or that he may cause corruption to appear in the land’, by [initiating] killing and otherwise (a variant reading [for wa-an, ‘and that’] is aw-an, ‘or that’; a variant reading [for an yuzhira fī’l-ardi’l-fasāda] is [the impersonal construction] an yazhara fī’l-ardi’l-fasādu, ‘that corruption may appear in the land’).
