They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."
Explained together with ayah 111
قَالَ أَلْقُوا۟ ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْا۟ سَحَرُوٓا۟ أَعْيُنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَآءُو بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍۢ
He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.
﴿سَحَرُوٓاْ أَعۡيُنَ ٱلنَّاسِ﴾: صَرَفُوها عن حقيقةِ إدراكِها، فخُيِّلَ إلى الأبصارِ أنّ ما فعلُوه حقيقةٌ.
﴿وَٱسۡتَرۡهَبُوهُمۡ﴾: وأخافوا الناسَ إخافةً شديدةً.
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
﴿تَلۡقَفُ﴾: تبتلِعُ بسرعة.
﴿مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ﴾: ما يُلْقُونه من الحِبال والعِصِيِّ، ويُوهِمونَ الناسَ أنه حقٌّ.
فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
﴿فَوَقَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ﴾: فظهر الحقُّ في أمرِ موسى عليه السلام.
فَغُلِبُوا۟ هُنَالِكَ وَٱنقَلَبُوا۟ صَٰغِرِينَ
And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.
﴿وَٱنقَلَبُواْ﴾: وانصرفَ فرعونُ وقومُه.
﴿صَـٰغِرِينَ﴾: أذلّاءَ بما لَحِقَهم من الهزيمةِ والخَيبةِ.
وَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
