Ach-Chu'ara' 26:38 فجمع السحرة لميقات يوم معلوم ٣٨

34. [Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician. 35. He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?" 36. They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers 37. Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician." 38. So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day. 39. And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate 40. That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?" 41. And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?" 42. He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]." 43. Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw." 44. So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant." 45. Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified. 46. So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh]. 47. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, 48. The Lord of Moses and Aaron." 49. [Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all." 50. They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return. 51. Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
