وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ
39. And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
40. That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
41. And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
42. He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَىٰ أَلْقُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ مُلْقُونَ
43. Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ
44. So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
46. So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
47. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
48. The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُونَ
50. They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
