    La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen

    That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

  41. 41 Ash-Shu'araa 26:41

    فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ

    Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen

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

  42. 42 Ash-Shu'araa 26:42

    قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ

    Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen

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

  43. 43 Ash-Shu'araa 26:43

    Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon

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

  44. 44 Ash-Shu'araa 26:44

    فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

    Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon

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

  45. 45 Ash-Shu'araa 26:45

    فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

    Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon

    Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon

    The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

  49. 49 Ash-Shu'araa 26:49

    قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

    [Pharaoh] said, "You believed 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."

  50. 50 Ash-Shu'araa 26:50

    قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

    Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon

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

  51. 51 Ash-Shu'araa 26:51

    إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

    Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen

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

  52. 52 Ash-Shu'araa 26:52

    ۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

    Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon

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

  53. 53 Ash-Shu'araa 26:53

    فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

    Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen

    Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

  54. 54 Ash-Shu'araa 26:54

    إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ

    Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon

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

  55. 55 Ash-Shu'araa 26:55

    وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

    Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon

    And indeed, they are enraging us,

  56. 56 Ash-Shu'araa 26:56

    وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

    Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon

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

  57. 57 Ash-Shu'araa 26:57

    فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ

    Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

    So We removed them from gardens and springs

  58. 58 Ash-Shu'araa 26:58

    وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ

    Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem

    And treasures and honorable station -

  59. 59 Ash-Shu'araa 26:59

    كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

    Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel

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

  60. 60 Ash-Shu'araa 26:60

    فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

    Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen

    So they pursued them at sunrise.

  61. 61 Ash-Shu'araa 26:61

    فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ

    Falammaa taraaa'al jam'aani qaala as haabu Moosaaa innaa lamudrakoon

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

  62. 62 Ash-Shu'araa 26:62

    قَالَ كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

    Qaala kallaaa inna ma'iya Rabbee sa yahdeen

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

  63. 63 Ash-Shu'araa 26:63

    فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ ۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍۢ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

    Fa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa anidrib bi'asaakal bahra fanfalaqa fakaana kullu firqin kattawdil 'azeem

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

  64. 64 Ash-Shu'araa 26:64

    وَأَزْلَفْنَا ثَمَّ ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

    Wa azlafnaa sammal aakhareen

    And We advanced thereto the pursuers.

  65. 65 Ash-Shu'araa 26:65

    وَأَنجَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ

    Wa anjainaa Moosaa wa mam ma'ahooo ajma'een

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

  66. 66 Ash-Shu'araa 26:66

    ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ

    Summa aghraqnal aakhareen

    Then We drowned the others.

  67. 67 Ash-Shu'araa 26:67

    إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

    Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaru hu mu'mineen

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