26. Surah Ash-Shu'ara – Verses 41–80

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

— Saheeh International

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

— Saheeh International

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

— Saheeh International

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

— Saheeh International

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

— Saheeh International

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].

— Saheeh International

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

— Saheeh International

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

— Saheeh International

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

— Saheeh International

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

— Saheeh International

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

— Saheeh International

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

— Saheeh International

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers1

— Saheeh International

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

— Saheeh International

And indeed, they are enraging us,

— Saheeh International

And indeed, we are a cautious society..."

— Saheeh International

So We removed them from gardens and springs

— Saheeh International

And treasures and honorable station1 -

— Saheeh International

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

— Saheeh International

So they pursued them at sunrise.

— Saheeh International

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

— Saheeh International

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."

— Saheeh International

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.

— Saheeh International

And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

— Saheeh International

And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

— Saheeh International

Then We drowned the others.

— Saheeh International

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

— Saheeh International

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

— Saheeh International

And recite to them the news of Abraham,

— Saheeh International

When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

— Saheeh International

They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

— Saheeh International

He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

— Saheeh International

Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

— Saheeh International

They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

— Saheeh International

He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

— Saheeh International

You and your ancient forefathers?

— Saheeh International

Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,1

— Saheeh International

Who created me, and He [it is who] guides me.

— Saheeh International

And it is He who feeds me and gives me drink.

— Saheeh International

And when I am ill, it is He who cures me

— Saheeh International
