The Aya says:
Moses said to his people: “Seek aid by/ from Allah and be deliberate. Indeed the land belongs to Allah. He makes whoever He wills inherit it and the final outcome belongs to the ones who act mindfully (of Allah)”
My personal note:
I translated the term isbiroo as “be deliberate” the term SABR is often used for being patient. However, the term covers patience in addition to self restraint against being reactive. So, it makes us act when the reaction is not to and pushes us to restrain when the reaction is to act. For that I chose being deliberate as the translation of the word. Meaning that you count the pros and cons of every move and word you say and this includes within it being patient in dealing with adversity but also measuring your actions with adversity.
The whole passage has great words of wisdom and advice to all humans who worship God. The seeking aid by Allah suggests that we ask Him for help and Allah will provide it through so many diferent means either through people or natural phenomena or through angels or directly or through other ways that we can never imagine. This is also why Muslims say in every prayer the important statement of “You are the one we worship and from You we seek aid/help”
Qala: He said/ communicated
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: He said or responded or communicated.

istaAAeenoo: seek aid/ seek help
Note: ISTaAAEENOO is derived from the root Ain-W-N and it means Aid or help.

Note: BI signifies an attachment or close linkage between what is before and what is after it. In a Verbal sentence it can mean attachment to the action or to the subject as it does the action. This attachment can then signify many things according to the verb and to the sentence and so on. ALLAH is Allah
Waisbiroo: and be patient/ and be self restrained/ and act deliberately
Note: WA is a letter that links what is before with what is after. This link is through inclusion, either one is included in the other or they are all included in the bigger sentence or bigger picture. WA often corresponds with “and/ addition” but the more encompassing meaning is in inclusion one in another or all in a bigger picture or sentence. ISBIROO is derived from the root Sad-B-R and it means jail or prison. The word is used to mean patience and restraint at the same time, since both are about imprisoning our negative emotions, thoughts, and the push to act uninhibited. ISBIROO is an order or a request addressing a group. It means: be patient/ be self restrained/ be deliberate in your words or actions.
