[2613] The word amr used here is polysemous. It could mean ‘command’ as chosen in this translation based on both al-Tafsīr al-Muyassar and al-Tafsīr al-Mukhtaṣar alluding to the aya: “So he ˹Pharaoh˺ made fools of his people and they obeyed him” (43: 54). It could also mean someone’s affairs and way of life. This meaning was chosen by al-Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr in their interpretation.
