Quran 7, Al-A'raf (The Heights) ⓘ

7:111They said (unto Pharaoh): Put him off (a while) - him and his brother - and send into the cities summoners,

قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

7:112To bring each knowing wizard unto thee.

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ

7:113And the wizards came to Pharaoh, saying: Surely there will be a reward for us if we are victors.

وَجَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوا إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ

7:114He answered: Yes, and surely ye shall be of those brought near (to me).

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ

7:115They said: O Moses! Either throw (first) or let us be the first throwers?

قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ

7:116He said: Throw! And when they threw they cast a spell upon the people's eyes, and overawed them, and produced a mighty spell.

قَالَ أَلْقُوا فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوا أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَاءُوا بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ

7:117And We inspired Moses (saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it swallowed up their lying show.

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

7:118Thus was the Truth vindicated and that which they were doing was made vain.

فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

7:119Thus were they there defeated and brought low.

فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ

7:120And the wizards fell down prostrate,

وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ

7:121Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

7:122The Lord of Moses and Aaron.

رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ

7:123Pharaoh said: Ye believe in Him before I give you leave! Lo! this is the plot that ye have plotted in the city that ye may drive its people hence. But ye shall come to know!

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَكَرْتُمُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوا مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

7:124Surely I shall have your hands and feet cut off upon alternate sides. Then I shall crucify you every one.

لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

7:125They said: Lo! We are about to return unto our Lord!

قَالُوا إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُونَ

7:126Thou takest vengeance on us only forasmuch as we believed the tokens of our Lord when they came unto us. Our Lord! Vouchsafe unto us steadfastness and make us die as men who have surrendered (unto Thee).

وَمَا تَنْقِمُ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَنْ آمَنَّا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاءَتْنَا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
