Vers: 77

قَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَتَقُولُونَ لِلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَكُمۡۖ أَسِحۡرٌ هَٰذَا وَلَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلسَّٰحِرُونَ

(77) Mūsā said: “Do you say to the Truth when it came to you: “this is sorcery”, but sorcerers never achieve success!”^[2431]

[2431] The whole trade of sorcerers and magicians is based on deceptions and false dealings. Had Moses been one of them, he would not have taken this jibe at them (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). This is a commonsense proof of Moses’ truthfulness comparable to Noah’s pointing out to his people that he asked them for no payment for his efforts in guiding them to the path of salvation.
