يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍۢ
Who will bring you every learned magician."
(واخْتَلَفُوا) فِي: ﴿بِكُلِّ ساحِرٍ﴾ هُنا، وفي يُونُسَ فَقَرَأ حَمْزَةُ والكِسائِيُّ وخَلَفٌ، سَحّارٍ عَلى وزْنِ فَعّالٍ بِتَشْدِيدِ الحاءِ وألِفٍ بَعْدَها في المَوْضِعَيْنِ، وهم عَلى أُصُولِهِمْ في الفَتْحِ والإمالَةِ كَما تَقَدَّمَ في بابِها، وقَرَأ الباقُونَ في السُورَتَيْنِ ساحِرٍ عَلى وزْنِ فاعِلٍ والألِفُ قَبْلَ الحاءِ.
وَجَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."
وَتَقَدَّمَ اخْتِلافُهم في ﴿إنَّ لَنا لَأجْرًا﴾ خَبَرًا واسْتِفْهامًا وتَحْقِيقًا وتَسْهِيلًا، وغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ مِن بابِ الهَمْزَتَيْنِ مِن كَلِمَةٍ.
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."
Explained together with ayah 113
قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُلْقِينَ
They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."
Explained together with ayah 113
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.
Explained together with ayah 113
۞ 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.
(واخْتُلِفَ) فِي: ﴿تَلْقَفُ ما﴾ هُنا وطه والشُعَراءِ، فَرَوى حَفْصٌ بِتَخْفِيفِ القافِ في الثَلاثَةِ، وقَرَأ الباقُونَ بِتَشْدِيدِها فِيهِنَّ
وَتَقَدَّمَ مَذْهَبُ البَزِّيِّ في تَشْدِيدِ التاءِ وصْلًا
وَتَقَدَّمَ اخْتِلافُهم في (قالَ فِرْعَوْنُ أآمَنتُمْ بِهِ) إخْبارًا واسْتِفْهامًا وتَسْهِيلًا، وغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ في بابِ الهَمْزَتَيْنِ مِن كَلِمَةٍ.
فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
