Chapter 26, Page 369, Juz 19

34. He (Pharaoh) said to the chiefs around him “This man is certainly an expert sorcerer”. 35. He wants to expel you from your land with his sorcery. So what do you suggest?” 36. They said, “Leave him and his brother alone for some time, and send heralds to the cities, 37. so that they bring to you every highly expert sorcerer.” 38. So the sorcerers were assembled for the appointed time of a known day, 39. and it was said to the people, “Would you assemble, 40. so that we may follow the sorcerers if they are victorious?” 41. So, when the sorcerers came, they said to Pharaoh, “Will there be a sure reward for us, if we are the victorious?” 42. He said, “Yes, and of course, you will then be among the closer ones.” 43. Mūsā said to them, “Throw you down what you are to throw.” 44. So they threw down their ropes and their staffs and said, “By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the triumphant for sure.” 45. Then Mūsā threw down his staff, and in no time it started swallowing the falsehood they invented. 46. So the sorcerers were made (by the truth they saw) to fall down in prostration. 47. They said, “We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, 48. the Lord of Mūsā and Hārūn.” 49. He (Pharaoh) said, “You have believed in him before I permit you. Surely, he (Mūsā) is the chief of you all, who has taught you sorcery. So you will soon know (your fate). I will cut off your hands and feet from different sides, and will crucify you all together. 50. They said, “There is no harm. We will return to our Lord. 51. We really hope that our Lord will forgive us our faults, as we are the first of the believers.”
