The magicians with Pharaoh

Said (the Pharaoh): "You have come to believe in him before I gave you leave. He is surely your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon come to know: I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, and have every one of you crucified."

They said: "There will be no harm. We shall return to our Lord.

We certainly hope our Lord will forgive our sins as we are the first to believe."

We said to Moses: "Travel by night with My creatures. You will surely be pursued."

Then the Pharaoh sent announcers to the cities,

(Proclaiming): "Surely they are a small band (of fugitives).

They are always harassing us.

But we are a fully accounted army."

So We made them leave the gardens and springs of water,

And treasures and agreeable mansions.

Thus it was; and We made the children of Israel possess them.

But they pursued them at sunrise.

When the two forces drew within seeing distance of each other, the people of Moses said: "We shall certainly be overtaken."

Moses replied: "By no means. My Lord is with me. He will show me the way."
