Chapter 20, Page 313, Juz 16

17. ˹Allah added,˺ “And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?” 18. He replied, “It is my staff! I lean on it, and with it I beat down ˹branches˺ for my sheep, and have other uses for it.” 19. Allah said, “Throw it down, O Moses!” 20. So he did, then—behold!—it became a serpent, slithering. 21. Allah said, “Take it, and have no fear. We will return it to its former state. 22. And put your hand under your armpit, it will come out ˹shining˺ white, unblemished, as another sign, 23. so that We may show you some of Our greatest signs. 24. Go to Pharaoh, for he has truly transgressed ˹all bounds˺.”
