5:110 إِذْ قَالَ اللّهُ يَا عِيسى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ
اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى وَالِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوحِ
الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلاً وَإِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ
الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَإِذْ تَخْلُقُ
مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْراً
بِإِذْنِي وَتُبْرِئُ الأَكْمَهَ وَالأَبْرَصَ بِإِذْنِي وَإِذْ تُخْرِجُ
الْمَوتَى بِإِذْنِي وَإِذْ كَفَفْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنكَ إِذْ
جِئْتَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ
مُّبِينٌ
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.'
6:7 وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ كِتَاباً فِي قِرْطَاسٍ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ
لَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
If We had sent unto thee a written (message) on parchment, so that they could touch it with their hands, the Unbelievers would have been sure to say: "This is nothing but obvious magic!"
7:109 قَالَ الْمَلأُ مِن قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّ هَـذَا لَسَاحِرٌ
عَلِيمٌ
Said the Chiefs of the people of Pharaoh: "This is indeed a sorcerer well-versed.
7:110 يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُمْ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
"His plan is to get you out of your land: then what is it ye counsel?"
7:111 قَالُواْ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِي الْمَدَآئِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while); and send to the cities men to collect-
7:112 يَأْتُوكَ
بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ
And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed."
7:113 وَجَاء السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالْواْ إِنَّ
لَنَا لأَجْراً إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
So there came the sorcerers to Pharaoh: They said, "of course we shall have a (suitable) reward if we win!"
7:114 قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإَنَّكُمْ
لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
7:115 قَالُواْ يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن
نَّكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ
They said: "O Moses! wilt thou throw (first), or shall we have the (first) throw?"
7:116 قَالَ أَلْقُوْاْ فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْاْ سَحَرُواْ
أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَاءوا بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ
Said Moses: "Throw ye (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them: for they showed a great (feat of) magic.
7:117 وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا
يَأْفِكُونَ
We put it into Moses's mind by inspiration: "Throw (now) thy rod":and behold! it swallows up straight away all the falsehoods which they fake!
7:118 فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect.
7:119 فَغُلِبُواْ
هُنَالِكَ وَانقَلَبُواْ صَاغِرِينَ
So the (great ones) were vanquished there and then, and were made to look small.
7:120 وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
But the sorcerers fell down prostrate in adoration.
7:121 قَالُواْ آمَنَّا بِرِبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,-
7:122 رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
7:123 قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنتُم بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَـذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَّكَرْتُمُوهُ
فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُواْ مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Said Pharaoh: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this is a trick which ye have planned in the city to drive out its people: but soon shall ye know (the consequences).
7:124 لأُقَطِّعَنَّ
أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلاَفٍ ثُمَّ لأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
"Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross."
7:125 قَالُواْ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said: "For us, We are but sent back unto our Lord:
7:126 وَمَا تَنقِمُ مِنَّا إِلاَّ أَنْ آمَنَّا
بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاءتْنَا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْراً وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
"But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we believed in the Signs of our Lord when they reached us! Our Lord! pour out on us patience and constancy, and take our souls unto thee as Muslims (who bow to thy will)!
10:2 أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَباً
أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ النَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ
أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ قَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ إِنَّ هَـذَا
لَسَاحِرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Is it a matter of wonderment to men that We have sent Our inspiration to a man from among themselves?- that he should warn mankind (of their danger), and give the good news to the Believers that they have before their Lord the lofty rank of truth. (But) say the Unbelievers: "This is indeed an evident sorcerer!"
10:76 فَلَمَّا جَاءهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ إِنَّ هَـذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
When the Truth did come to them from Us, they said: "This is indeed evident sorcery!"
10:77 قَالَ مُوسَى أَتقُولُونَ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءكُمْ أَسِحْرٌ هَـذَا وَلاَ يُفْلِحُ
السَّاحِرُونَ
Said Moses: "Say ye (this) about the truth when it hath (actually) reached you? Is sorcery (like) this? But sorcerers will not prosper."
10:78 قَالُواْ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتَلْفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءنَا
وَتَكُونَ لَكُمَا الْكِبْرِيَاء فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
They said: "Hast thou come to us to turn us away from the ways we found our fathers following,- in order that thou and thy brother may have greatness in the land? But not we shall believe in you!"
10:79 وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ائْتُونِي بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ
Said Pharaoh: "Bring me every sorcerer well versed."
10:80 فَلَمَّا جَاء السَّحَرَةُ
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُواْ مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
When the sorcerers came, Moses said to them: "Throw ye what ye (wish) to throw!"
10:81 فَلَمَّا أَلْقَواْ قَالَ
مُوسَى مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ إِنَّ اللّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُصْلِحُ
عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
When they had had their throw, Moses said: "What ye have brought is sorcery: Allah will surely make it of no effect: for Allah prospereth not the work of those who make mischief.
11:7 وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَق
السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ
عَلَى الْمَاء لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلاً وَلَئِن قُلْتَ
إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِن بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was over the waters - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct. But if thou wert to say to them, "Ye shall indeed be raised up after death", the Unbelievers would be sure to say, "This is nothing but obvious sorcery!"
20:57 قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا
مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَا مُوسَى
He said: "Hast thou come to drive us out of our land with thy magic, O Moses?
20:58 فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِ
فَاجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِداً لَّا نُخْلِفُهُ نَحْنُ وَلَا أَنتَ مَكَاناً
سُوًى
"But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances."
20:59 قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ الزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى
Moses said: "Your tryst is the Day of the Festival, and let the people be assembled when the sun is well up."
20:60 فَتَوَلَّى فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى
So Pharaoh withdrew: He concerted his plan, and then came (back).
20:61 قَالَ لَهُم
مُّوسَى وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى
Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!"
20:62 فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا
النَّجْوَى
So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret.
20:63 قَالُوا إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم
مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَى
They said: "These two are certainly (expert) magicians: their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions.
20:64 فَأَجْمِعُوا
كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفّاً وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَى
"Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand."
20:65 قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى
They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?"
20:66 قَالَ
بَلْ أَلْقُوا فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَى
He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods-so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion!
20:67 فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُّوسَى
So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear.
20:68 قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ
أَنتَ الْأَعْلَى
We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand:
20:69 وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا
كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى
"Throw that which is in thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up that which they have faked what they have faked is but a magician's trick: and the magician thrives not, (no matter) where he goes."
20:70 فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّداً
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى
So the magicians were thrown down to prostration: they said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses".
20:71 قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ
لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ
وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ
أَيُّنَا أَشَدُّ عَذَاباً وَأَبْقَى
(Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm-trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!"
20:72 قَالُوا لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَى مَا جَاءنَا مِنَ
الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالَّذِي فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَا أَنتَ قَاضٍ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَذِهِ
الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا
They said: "Never shall we regard thee as more than the Clear Signs that have come to us, or than Him Who created us! so decree whatever thou desirest to decree: for thou canst only decree (touching) the life of this world.
20:73 إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا وَمَا أَكْرَهْتَنَا
عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى
"For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding."
21:3 لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّواْ النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ
هَلْ هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ
تُبْصِرُونَ
Their hearts toying as with trifles. The wrong-doers conceal their private counsels, (saying), "Is this (one) more than a man like yourselves? Will ye go to witchcraft with your eyes open?"
26:34 قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ
عَلِيمٌ
(Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well-versed:
26:35 يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا
تَأْمُرُونَ
"His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"
26:36 قَالُوا أَرْجِهِ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect-
26:37 يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed."
26:38 فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ
لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well-known,
26:39 وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled?-
26:40 لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"
26:41 فَلَمَّا جَاء السَّحَرَةُ
قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْراً إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?
26:42 قَالَ نَعَمْ
وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذاً لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
26:43 قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"
26:44 فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ
الْغَالِبُونَ
So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
26:45 فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
26:46 فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
26:47 قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
26:48 رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
26:49 قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ
لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ
وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"
26:50 قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّا
إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!
26:51 إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا
أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
27:13 فَلَمَّا جَاءتْهُمْ آيَاتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
But when Our Signs came to them, that should have opened their eyes, they said: "This is sorcery manifest!"
28:36 فَلَمَّا جَاءهُم مُّوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالُوا مَا هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ
مُّفْتَرًى وَمَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَذَا فِي آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ
When Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said: "This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never did we head the like among our fathers of old!"
28:48 فَلَمَّا جَاءهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا
لَوْلَا أُوتِيَ مِثْلَ مَا أُوتِيَ مُوسَى أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوا بِمَا أُوتِيَ
مُوسَى مِن قَبْلُ قَالُوا سِحْرَانِ تَظَاهَرَا وَقَالُوا إِنَّا بِكُلٍّ كَافِرُونَ
But (now), when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like those which were sent to Moses?" Do they not then reject (the Signs) which were formerly sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say: "For us, we reject all (such things)!"
34:43 وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ
قَالُوا مَا هَذَا إِلَّا رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُكُمْ
وَقَالُوا مَا هَذَا إِلَّا إِفْكٌ مُّفْتَرًى وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا
جَاءهُمْ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
When Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, they say, "This is only a man who wishes to hinder you from the (worship) which your fathers practised." And they say, "This is only a falsehood invented!" and the Unbelievers say of the Truth when it comes to them, "This is nothing but evident magic!"
37:15 وَقَالُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
38:4 وَعَجِبُوا
أَن جَاءهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ وَقَالَ الْكَافِرُونَ هَذَا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ
So they wonder that a Warner has come to them from among themselves! and the Unbelievers say, "This is a sorcerer telling lies!
40:23 وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا
وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
Of old We sent Moses, with Our Signs and an authority manifest,
40:24 إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَقَارُونَ
فَقَالُوا سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ
To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun; but they called (him)" a sorcerer telling lies!"...
43:30 وَلَمَّا جَاءهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِ كَافِرُونَ
But when the Truth came to them, they said: "This is sorcery, and we do reject it."
43:49 وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا السَّاحِرُ ادْعُ لَنَا
رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
And they said, "O thou sorcerer! Invoke thy Lord for us according to His covenant with thee; for we shall truly accept guidance."
46:7 وَإِذَا
تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءهُمْ هَذَا
