[Who is] obligated not to say about Allāh except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."So he [i.e., Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magicianWho wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherersWho will bring you every learned magician."And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.And they [i.e., Pharaoh and his people] were overcome right there and became debased.And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].
