Quran 26, Ash-Shu'ara (The Poets) ⓘ

26:36They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners

قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

26:37Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

26:38So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.

فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ

26:39And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ

26:40(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ

26:41And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ

26:42He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ

26:43Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!

قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنْتُمْ مُلْقُونَ

26:44Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.

فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ

26:45Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.

فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

26:46And the wizards were flung prostrate,

فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ

26:47Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

26:48The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ

26:49(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.

قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

26:50They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.

قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُونَ

26:51Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَنْ كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
