Tafsir
Mention when Moses said to his family to his wife during his journey from Midian back to Egypt ‘Assuredly I notice I see in the distance a fire. I will bring you news from there about the journey’s route — for he had lost his way — or bring you a firebrand read as a genitive annexation bi-shihābi qabasin as an explication of shihāb ‘flame’; or read without annexation bi-shihābin qabasin meaning a flame of fire at the end of a wick or a wooden stick that perhaps you might warm yourselves’ tastalūn the tā’ replaces the tā’ of the 8th verbal form ifta‘ala sc. istalā; it derives from salaya or saliya ‘to be exposed to the blaze of fire’ that perhaps you might warm yourselves from the cold.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
((Remember) when Moses said unto his household) when he became unsure about the way: (Lo! I spy afar off a fire) on the left side of the road; stay here (I will bring you tidings thence) news about the right way to take, (or bring to you a borrowed flame that ye may warm yourselves) because this happened in a cold winter.
