(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners

And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners

He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me)

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw

Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners

Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show

And the wizards were flung prostrate

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds

The Lord of Moses and Aaron

(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one

They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return

Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers

And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued

Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners

(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop

And lo! they are offenders against us

And lo! we are a ready host

Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings

And treasures and a fair estate

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them

And they overtook them at sunrise
