And saying; 'Throw down your staff." So when he saw it moving as if it were a snake, he turned back in retreat and did not look back. (Allah said to him), "0 Musa come forward and do not fear; you are one of those in peace.

Insert your hand into your bosom, and it will come out white without any evil (disease), and press your arm to your side for (removing) fear. Thus these are two proofs from your Lord (sent) to the Pharaoh and his chiefs. Indeed they are transgressing people."

He said, "My Lord, I have killed a person from them; therefore I fear that they will kill me.

And my brother Harun is more fluent with his tongue than I am; so send him with me as a helper who will bear me out. I am afraid, they will belie me."

He (Allah) said, "We will make your arm stronger through (the help of) your brother and will make you have the upper hand, so they will not reach you (to cause any harm) because of Our signs. You both and those who follow you will be victorious."

So when Musa came to them with Our clear signs, they said, "This is nothing but a forged magic, and we did not hear about it among our forefathers."

And Musa said, "My Lord knows best the one who has come with guidance from Him and who is going to have the best end of the abode. It is certain that the wrongdoers will not succeed."

And the Pharaoh said, "0 chiefs, I do not know of any god for you other than me. So kindle for me, 0 Haman, a fire on the clay (to bake bricks) and build for me a tower, so that I may look on to the God of Musa. And I deem him to be one of the liars."

And he and his hosts became over-proud in the land without justification and thought that they would not be returned to Us.

So We seized him and his hosts and threw them into the sea. Look then, how was the fate of the wrongdoers.
