Ayahs 111–120 of 206
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
﴿قالُوا أرْجِهْ وأَخاهُ﴾ أخِّرْ أمْرهما ﴿وأَرْسِلْ فِي المَدائِن حاشِرِينَ﴾ جامِعِينَ
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَٰحِرٍ عَلِيمٍۢ
Who will bring you every learned magician."
﴿يَأْتُوك بِكُلِّ ساحِر﴾ وفِي قِراءَة سَحّار ﴿عَلِيم﴾ يَفْضُل مُوسى فِي عِلْم السِّحْر فَجَمَعُوا
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."
﴿وجاءَ السَّحَرَة فِرْعَوْن قالُوا أإنَّ﴾ بِتَحْقِيقِ الهَمْزَتَيْنِ وتَسْهِيل الثّانِيَة وإدْخال ألِف بَيْنهما عَلى الوَجْهَيْنِ
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]."
﴿قالُوا يا مُوسى إمّا أنْ تُلْقِي﴾ عَصاك ﴿وإمّا أنْ نَكُون نَحْنُ المُلْقِينَ﴾ ما مَعَنا
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.
﴿قالَ ألْقُوا﴾ أمْر لِلْإذْنِ بِتَقْدِيمِ إلْقائِهِمْ تَوَصُّلًا بِهِ إلى إظْهار الحَقّ ﴿فَلَمّا ألْقَوْا﴾ حِبالهمْ وعِصِيّهمْ ﴿سَحَرُوا أعْيُن النّاس﴾ صَرَفُوها عَنْ حَقِيقَة إدْراكها ﴿واسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ﴾ خَوَّفُوهُمْ حَيْثُ خَيَّلُوها حَيّات تَسْعى
۞ 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.
﴿وأَوْحَيْنا إلى مُوسى أنْ ألْقِ عَصاك فَإذا هِيَ تَلْقَف﴾ بِحَذْفِ إحْدى التّاءَيْنِ فِي الأَصْل تَبْتَلِع ﴿ما يَأْفِكُونَ﴾ يُقَلِّبُونَ بِتَمْوِيهِهِمْ
فَوَقَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
﴿فَوَقَعَ الحَقّ﴾ ثَبَتَ وظَهَرَ ﴿وبَطَلَ ما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ﴾ مِن السِّحْر
فَغُلِبُوا۟ هُنَالِكَ وَٱنقَلَبُوا۟ صَٰغِرِينَ
And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.
﴿فَغَلَبُوا﴾ أيْ فِرْعَوْن وقَوْمه ﴿هُنالِكَ وانْقَلَبُوا صاغِرِينَ﴾ صارُوا ذَلِيلِينَ
وَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
