قَالُوْآ اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَاَرْسِلْ فِى الْمَدَاۤىِٕنِ حٰشِرِيْنَۙ ( الأعراف: ١١١ )
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
يَأْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِيْمٍ ( الأعراف: ١١٢ )
Who will bring you every learned magician."
وَجَاۤءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوْٓا اِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِيْنَ ( الأعراف: ١١٣ )
And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ ( الأعراف: ١١٤ )
He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."
قَالُوْا يٰمُوْسٰٓى اِمَّآ اَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَاِمَّآ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِيْنَ ( الأعراف: ١١٥ )
They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."
قَالَ اَلْقُوْاۚ فَلَمَّآ اَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوْٓا اَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوْهُمْ وَجَاۤءُوْ بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيْمٍ ( الأعراف: ١١٦ )
He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.
۞ وَاَوْحَيْنَآ اِلٰى مُوْسٰٓى اَنْ اَلْقِ عَصَاكَۚ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُوْنَۚ ( الأعراف: ١١٧ )
And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَۚ ( الأعراف: ١١٨ )
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
فَغُلِبُوْا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوْا صٰغِرِيْنَۚ ( الأعراف: ١١٩ )
And they [i.e., Pharaoh and his people] were overcome right there and became debased.
وَاُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيْنَۙ ( الأعراف: ١٢٠ )
And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
