Al-Jalalayn Commentary

And when he saw the moon rising appearing he said to them ‘This is my Lord.’ But when it set he said ‘Unless my Lord guides me unless He establishes me within true guidance I shall surely become one of the folk who are astray’ — an intimation to his people that they are astray but still this had no effect on them.

(And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed: This my Lord) could this be my Lord? This is bigger than the first one. (But when it set, he said: Unless my Lord guide me) unless my Lord makes me firm on guidance, (I surely shall become one of the folk who are astray) from guidance.
