The student: Was the Pharaoh originally an Arab?
The Shaykh : They say that the name of the Pharaoh was Mus'ab ibn al-Riyan, and we ask, who said this? The Pharaoh was a stubborn, wicked man, and he is innocent of the Arabs, and the Arabs are innocent of him. Perhaps the Jews say this, because the Jews are from the Children of Israel and the Pharaoh was their enemy, and the Arabs are their enemies now, so they said, let us put the Pharaoh with them and it will work.
