وَإِذْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَابَ وَٱلْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
٥٣
-Al-Baqarah ( البقرة )

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[2:53] And when We gave to Moses the Scripture and the Criterion, so that you might be guided.
The Criterion with which this community is distinguished is a light in their hearts by which they differentiate between the truth and falsehood. The Prophet (ṣ) said to Wābiṣa, 'Seek a pronouncement (fatwa) from your heart'. And he said, 'Fear the perspicacity (firāsa) of the believer, for he sees with the light of God'. And God Most High said, If you fear God, He will grant you a Criterion [8:29] and that Criterion is a legacy for what they have put forward in beautiful works.
