الشعراء
Surah Ash-Shu'ara
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
When the magicians came, they asked Pharaoh, “Shall we have a ˹suitable˺ reward if we prevail?”
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
He replied, “Yes, and you will then certainly be among those closest to me.”
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Moses said to them, “Cast whatever you wish to cast.”
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
So they cast down their ropes and staffs, saying, “By Pharaoh’s might, it is we who will surely prevail.”
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Then Moses threw down his staff, and—behold!—it devoured the objects of their illusion!
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ
So the magicians fell down, prostrating.
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
They declared, “We ˹now˺ believe in the Lord of all worlds—
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.”
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَـٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? He must be your master who taught you magic, but soon you will see. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.”
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They responded, “˹That would be˺ no harm! Surely to our Lord we will ˹all˺ return.
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَـٰيَـٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
We really hope that our Lord will forgive our sins, as we are the first to believe.”
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
And We inspired Moses, ˹saying,˺ “Leave with My servants at night, for you will surely be pursued.”
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
Then Pharaoh sent mobilizers to all cities,
إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
˹and said,˺ “These ˹outcasts˺ are just a handful of people,
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
who have really enraged us,
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ
but we are all on the alert.”
فَأَخْرَجْنَـٰهُم مِّن جَنَّـٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
So We lured the tyrants1 out of ˹their˺ gardens, springs,
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
treasures, and splendid residences.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
So it was. And We awarded it ˹all˺ to the Children of Israel.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
And so they pursued them at sunrise.
