Ith nadahu rabbuhu bilwadi almuqaddasi tuwa (surah Naziat: 16)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(79:16) When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, *7

Iz nadaahu rabbuhu bil waadil-muqad dasi tuwa

*6) As the denial of the Resurrection and Hereafter by the disbelievers of Makkah and their mockery of it was not, in fact, rejection of a philosophy but belying Allah's Messengers, and the tricks that they were employing against the Holy Prophet (upon whom be Allah's peace) were not against an ordinary man but were meant to frustrate the mission of Allah's Messenger, the story of the Prophet Moses and the Pharaoh is being related before giving additional arguments for the occurrence of the Hereafter so that they are warned of the consequences of fighting with the Messenger and resisting the God Who sent him.
