How Fir`awn mocked the Lord of Musa Allah tells,وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ يَا هَامَانُ ابْنِ لِي صَرْحًاAnd Fir`awn said:"O Haman! Build me a lofty towerAllah tells us of the arrogant and hostile defiance of Fir`awn and his rejection of Musa, when he commanded his minister Haman to build him a tower, i.e., a tall, high, strong fortress. He built it of bricks made from baked clay, as Allah says:فَأَوْقِدْ لِى يَهَـمَـنُ عَلَى الطِّينِ فَاجْعَل لِّى صَرْحاًSo kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to bake (bricks out of) clay, and set up for me a lofty tower. (28:38)لَّعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ الاَْسْبَابَ
