Musa defeats the Magicians, Who believe in Him

Chapter 7, Page 165, Juz 9

109. Said the Chiefs of the people of Pharaoh: "This is indeed a sorcerer well-versed. 110. "His plan is to get you out of your land: then what is it ye counsel?" 111. They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while); and send to the cities men to collect- 112. And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed." 113. So there came the sorcerers to Pharaoh: They said, "of course we shall have a (suitable) reward if we win!" 114. He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)." 115. They said: "O Moses! wilt thou throw (first), or shall we have the (first) throw?" 116. Said Moses: "Throw ye (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them: for they showed a great (feat of) magic. 117. We put it into Moses's mind by inspiration: "Throw (now) thy rod": and behold! it swallows up straight away all the falsehoods which they fake! 118. Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect. 119. So the (great ones) were vanquished there and then, and were made to look small. 120. But the sorcerers fell down prostrate in adoration. 121. Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,- 122. "The Lord of Moses and Aaron." 123. Said Pharaoh: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this is a trick which ye have planned in the city to drive out its people: but soon shall ye know (the consequences). 124. "Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross." 125. They said: "For us, We are but sent back unto our Lord: 126. "But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we believed in the Signs of our Lord when they reached us! Our Lord! pour out on us patience and constancy, and take our souls unto thee as Muslims (who bow to thy will)!
