Pharaoh seeks help from magicians in his confrontation with Musa

"Bring the cleverest magicians to me," said the Pharaoh.

So when the magicians arrived, Moses said to them: "Cast whatever (spell) you have to cast."

When they had cast (their spell) Moses said: "What you have cast is only a charm which God will surely nullify. God does not verily render the deeds of evil-doers righteous.

God vindicates the truth by His commands, however the sinners may dislike it."
