7.110-122

یُّرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْۚ-فَمَا ذَا تَاْمُرُوْنَ(110) قَالُوْۤا اَرْجِهْ وَ اَخَاهُ وَ اَرْسِلْ فِی الْمَدَآىٕنِ حٰشِرِیْنَۙ (111) یَاْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِیْمٍ(112) وَ جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِیْنَ(113) قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ اِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ(114) قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُلْقِیَ وَ اِمَّاۤ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِیْنَ(115) قَالَ اَلْقُوْاۚ-فَلَمَّاۤ اَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوْۤا اَعْیُنَ النَّاسِ وَ اسْتَرْهَبُوْهُمْ وَ جَآءُوْ بِسِحْرٍ عَظِیْمٍ(116) وَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰۤى اَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَۚ-فَاِذَا هِیَ تَلْقَفُ مَا یَاْفِكُوْنَۚ (117) فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَ بَطَلَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَۚ (118) فَغُلِبُوْا هُنَالِكَ وَ انْقَلَبُوْا صٰغِرِیْنَۚ (119) وَ اُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِیْنَﭕ(120) قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَۙ (121) رَبِّ مُوْسٰى وَ هٰرُوْنَ(122)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

He intends to expel you from your country.” ˹Pharaoh said,˺ “So what do you propose?” They said, “Give time to him and his brother, and send heralds into the cities. They shall bring every expert sorcerer to you.” And then the sorcerers came to Pharaoh, they said, “Will there definitely be reward for us if we prevail?” He (Pharaoh) said, “Yes, and indeed you shall become among those who are close to me.” They (the sorcerers) said, “O Mūsā! Will you throw ˹your staff ˺ or should we throw ˹first˺?”[1] He said, “Throw!” So when they threw, they cast a spell upon the eyes of the people, and instilled fear in them, and they came forth with great sorcery.[1] And We sent a Revelation to Mūsā, “Cast your staff!” So suddenly it began devouring their inventions. So the truth was established and all that they were doing became void. So there, they were defeated and returned disgraced. And the sorcerers were made to fall into prostration. They said, “We believe in the Lord of all the worlds. The Lord of Mūsā and Hārūn.”

Commentary

The sorcerers were courteous with Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام by giving him first choice and not beginning without his permission. This courtesy was recompensed by Allah Almighty when He granted them faith and guidance.

The magic performed by the sorcerers was illusory. They did not actually change the ropes and sticks into snakes; it was an illusion that made these objects appear like slithering snakes. The nature of the sorcery performed was such that the actual reality of objects remained unchanged.
