The Heights - Al-A'raaf

And the enchanters came to Firon (and) said: We must surely have a reward if we are the prevailing ones.

He said: Yes, and you shall certainly be of those who are near (to me).

They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast?

He said: Cast. So when they cast, they deceived the people's eyes and frightened them, and they produced a mighty enchantment.

And We revealed to Musa, saying: Cast your rod; then lo! it devoured the lies they told.

So the truth was established, and what they did became null.

Thus they were vanquished there, and they went back abased.

And the enchanters were thrown down, prostrating (themselves).
