حَقِيۡقٌ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ لَّاۤ اَقُوۡلَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الۡحَـقَّؕ قَدۡ جِئۡـتُكُمۡ بِبَيِّنَةٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ فَاَرۡسِلۡ مَعِىَ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ ١٠٥
7:105Approved upon condition that I speak concerning Allah nothing but the truth. I come unto you (lords of Egypt) with a clear proof from your Lord. So let the Children of Israel go with me.
قَالَ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ جِئۡتَ بِاٰيَةٍ فَاۡتِ بِهَاۤ اِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ ١٠٦
7:106(Pharaoh) said: If thou comest with a token, then produce it, if thou art of those who speak the truth.
فَاَلۡقٰى عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِىَ ثُعۡبَانٌ مُّبِيۡنٌۖۚ ١٠٧
7:107Then he flung down his staff and lo! it was a serpent manifest;
وَّنَزَعَ يَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِىَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِيۡنَ ١٠٨
7:108And he drew forth his hand (from his bosom), and lo! it was white for the beholders.
قَالَ الۡمَلَاُ مِنۡ قَوۡمِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِيۡمٌۙ ١٠٩
7:109The chiefs of Pharaoh's people said: Lo! this is some knowing wizard,
يُّرِيۡدُ اَنۡ يُّخۡرِجَكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَرۡضِكُمۡۚ فَمَاذَا تَاۡمُرُوۡنَ ١١٠
7:110Who would expel you from your land. Now what do ye advise?
قَالُوْآ اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاہُ وَاَرْسِلْ فِی الْمَدَآٮِٕنِ حٰشِرِیْنَۙ ١١١
7:111They said (unto Pharaoh): Put him off (a while) - him and his brother - and send into the cities summoners,
يَاۡتُوۡكَ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِيۡمٍ ١١٢
7:112To bring each knowing wizard unto thee.
وَجَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ قَالُوۡۤا اِنَّ لَـنَا لَاَجۡرًا اِنۡ كُنَّا نَحۡنُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَ ١١٣
7:113And the wizards came to Pharaoh, saying: Surely there will be a reward for us if we are victors.
قَالَ نَـعَمۡ وَاِنَّكُمۡ لَمِنَ الۡمُقَرَّبِيۡنَ ١١٤
7:114He answered: Yea, and surely ye shall be of those brought near (to me).
قَالُوۡا يٰمُوۡسٰٓى اِمَّاۤ اَنۡ تُلۡقِىَ وَاِمَّاۤ اَنۡ نَّكُوۡنَ نَحۡنُ الۡمُلۡقِيۡنَ ١١٥
7:115They said: O Moses! Either throw (first) or let us be the first throwers?
قَالَ اَلۡقُوۡاۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَلۡقَوۡا سَحَرُوۡۤا اَعۡيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسۡتَرۡهَبُوۡهُمۡ وَجَآءُوۡ بِسِحۡرٍ عَظِيۡمٍ ١١٦
7:116He said: Throw! And when they threw they cast a spell upon the people's eyes, and overawed them, and produced a mighty spell.
وَاَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوۡسٰٓى اَنۡ اَلۡقِ عَصَاكَۚ فَاِذَا هِىَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَاۡفِكُوۡنَۚ ١١٧
7:117And We inspired Moses (saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it swallowed up their lying show.
فَوَقَعَ الۡحَـقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَۚ ١١٨
7:118Thus was the Truth vindicated and that which they were doing was made vain.
فَغُلِبُوۡا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوۡا صٰغِرِيۡنَۚ ١١٩
7:119Thus were they there defeated and brought low.
وَاُلۡقِىَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيۡنَۙ ١٢٠
7:120And the wizards fell down prostrate,
قَالُوۡۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙ ١٢١
7:121Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
