28:19

فَلَمَّٓا اَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یَبْطِشَ بِالَّذٖی هُوَ عَدُوٌّ لَهُمَاۙ قَالَ یَا مُوسٰٓى اَتُرٖیدُ اَنْ تَقْتُلَنٖی كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا بِالْاَمْسِࣗ اِنْ تُرٖیدُ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَكُونَ جَبَّارًا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَمَا تُرٖیدُ اَنْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحٖینَ

Falamma an arada an yabtisha biallathee huwa AAaduwwun lahuma qala ya moosa atureedu an taqtulanee kama qatalta nafsan bialamsi in tureedu illa an takoona jabbaran fee alardi wama tureedu an takoona mina almusliheena

Translations

And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders

Saheeh International

And when he would have fallen upon the man who was an enemy unto them both, he said: O Moses! Wouldst thou kill me as thou didst kill a person yesterday. Thou wouldst be nothing but a tyrant in the land, thou wouldst not be of the reformers
