(Moses) said: "Even if I showed you something clear (and) convincing?"


قَالَ فَأۡتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ

(Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!"


فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيۡضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ

They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect-


يَأۡتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٖ

"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed."
