The story of Balaam ibn Ba’ura

After the conquest of Egypt, when the Children of Israel were commanded to fight against the oppressive nation, the oppressors became afraid and approached Balaam ibn Ba’ura for help. Balaam possessed the Great Name of Allah. Initially, he refused their request with the help of his knowledge, but when they offered him a bribe, he was swayed. He started to utter cursed words against Prophet Moses and the Children of Israel. However, by the power of Allah, those words turned against him and his own people.
