فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوْا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ ( الشعراء: ٤١ )
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ ( الشعراء: ٤٢ )
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰٓى اَلْقُوْا مَآ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ ( الشعراء: ٤٣ )
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
فَاَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوْا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ( الشعراء: ٤٤ )
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَاَلْقٰى مُوْسٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُوْنَ ۚ ( الشعراء: ٤٥ )
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
فَاُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيْنَ ۙ ( الشعراء: ٤٦ )
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
قَالُوْٓا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ۙ ( الشعراء: ٤٧ )
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
رَبِّ مُوْسٰى وَهٰرُوْنَ ( الشعراء: ٤٨ )
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِيْرُكُمُ الَّذِيْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَۚ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ەۗ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَيْدِيَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۚ ( الشعراء: ٤٩ )
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."
قَالُوْا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖاِنَّآ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَ ۚ ( الشعراء: ٥٠ )
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
