فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنۡهَا مَن لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرۡدَىٰ
Therefor, let not him turn thee aside from (the thought of) it who believeth not therein but followeth his own desire, lest thou perish.
وَمَا تِلۡكَ بِيَمِينِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ
And what is that in thy right hand, O Moses?
قَالَ هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّؤُاْ عَلَيۡهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِي وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخۡرَىٰ
He said: This is my staff whereon I lean, and wherewith I bear down branches for my sheep, and wherein I find other uses.
قَالَ أَلۡقِهَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ
He said: Cast it down, O Moses!
فَأَلۡقَىٰهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَيَّةٞ تَسۡعَىٰ
So he cast it down, and lo! it was a serpent, gliding.
قَالَ خُذۡهَا وَلَا تَخَفۡۖ سَنُعِيدُهَا سِيرَتَهَا ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
He said: Grasp it and fear not. We shall return it to its former state.
وَٱضۡمُمۡ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخۡرُجۡ بَيۡضَآءَ مِنۡ غَيۡرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخۡرَىٰ
And thrust thy hand within thine armpit, it will come forth white without hurt. (That will be) another token.
