The Believer of Firaun's Familyمؤمن آل فرعون

During Musa's call to FiraunTraditional date, disputedEgypt

A man of Firaun's own family who hid his faith, then spoke out to defend Musa before the court.

When Firaun proposed killing Musa, this man stood up: will you kill a man for saying my Lord is Allah? He warned them of the fate of Nuh's people, Ad and Thamud, and of the Day of Calling. He entrusted his affair to Allah, and Allah protected him from their evil plans.

What does the Quran say?

And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allah' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allah does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.
