Question:
This questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Qasas 28:15] there is no evidence for seeking aid from other than Allah,
Answer:
It is strange. Who is this speaker now? Allah says:[Al-Qasas 28:15] He says: There is no evidence in it. There is evidence that a person calls for aid from him in what he is capable of. It is the call for aid that Musa (peace be upon him) made from one of his followers, meaning from the Children of Israel, against one of his enemies from the Copts. [Al-Qasas 28:15] from the Copts. And Musa was capable of helping him. For this reason, Musa struck him and killed him. Musa’s strike means he hit him with a fist and killed him with one blow because of the strength of Musa (peace be upon him).
At that point, what happened happened, and Musa fled from the Children of Israel, from the Copts, fearing that they would kill him, and he went to Madyan. Allah mentioned his story in the Qur'an. Yes.
