It behooves me to say nothing about Allah except the truth. I certainly bring you a manifest proof from your Lord. So let the Children of Israel go with me.’
قَالَ إِن كُنتَ جِئْتَ بِـَٔايَةٍ فَأْتِ بِهَآ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ

He said, ‘If you have brought a sign, produce it, should you be truthful.’

Thereat he threw down his staff, and behold, it became a manifest python.

Then he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to the onlookers.

The elite of Pharaoh’s people said, ‘This is indeed an expert magician;
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ ۖ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

he seeks to expel you from your land.’ ‘So what do you advise?’

They said, ‘Put him and his brother off for a while, and send heralds to the cities,

to bring you every expert magician.’

And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, ‘We shall indeed have a reward if we were to be the victors?’

He said, ‘Of course! And indeed you shall be among those near [to me].’

They said, ‘O Moses, will you throw [first], or shall we throw?’
قَالَ أَلْقُواْ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْاْ سَحَرُوٓاْ أَعْيُنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَآءُو بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ

He said, ‘Throw [yours].’ So when they threw, they bewitched the people’s eyes and overawed them, producing a tremendous magic.
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

And We signalled to Moses: ‘Throw down your staff.’ And behold, it was swallowing what they had faked.

Thereat they were vanquished, and they retreated, humiliated.
