Musa defeats the Magicians, Who believe in Him

Allah states that at that tremendous moment, in which Allah differentiated between Truth and Falsehood, He sent a revelation to His servant and Messenger Musa, peace be upon him, ordering him to throw the stick that he held in his right hand,

109. The leaders among Pharaoh’s people said, ‘This man is a learned sorcerer! 110. He means to drive you out of your land!’ Pharaoh said, ‘What do you suggest?’ 111. They said, ‘Delay him and his brother for a while, and send messengers to all the cities 112. to summon every learned sorcerer to you.’ 113. The sorcerers came to Pharaoh and said, ‘Shall we be rewarded if we win?’ 114. and he replied, ‘Yes, and you will join my inner court.’ 115. So they said, ‘Moses, will you throw first or shall we?’ 116. He said, ‘You throw,’ and they did, casting a spell on people’s eyes, striking fear into them, and bringing about great sorcery. 117. Then We inspired Moses, ‘Throw your staff,’ and- lo and behold!––it devoured their fakery. 118. The truth was confirmed and what they had produced came to nothing: 119. they were defeated there and utterly humiliated. 120. The sorcerers fell to their knees 121. and said, ‘We believe in the Lord of the Worlds, 122. the Lord of Moses and Aaron!’ 123. but Pharaoh said, ‘How dare you believe in Him before I have given you permission? This is a plot you have hatched to drive the people out of this city! Soon you will see: 124. I will cut off your alternate hands and feet and then crucify you all!’ 125. They said, ‘And so we shall return to our Lord- 126. Your only grievance against us is that we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour steadfastness upon us and let us die in devotion to You.’
