ٱلْإِسْرَاء : ١٠١

  • وَلَقَدۡ And certainly
  • ءَاتَيۡنَا We had given
  • مُوسَىٰ Musa
  • تِسۡعَ nine
  • ءَايَٰتِ Signs
  • بَيِّنَٰتٖۖ clear
  • فَسۡـَٔلۡ so ask
  • بَنِيٓ (the) Children of Israel
  • إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ (the) Children of Israel
  • إِذۡ when
  • جَآءَهُمۡ he came to them
  • فَقَالَ then said
  • لَهُۥ to him
  • فِرۡعَوۡنُ Firaun
  • إِنِّي Indeed, I
  • لَأَظُنُّكَ [I] think you
  • يَٰمُوسَىٰ O Musa
  • مَسۡحُورٗا (you are) bewitched
And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."
And verily We gave Moses nine manifest signs, clear [signs], namely, [those of] the hand, the staff, the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs, the blood and the obliteration [of their possessions, cf. Q. 10:88], the years [of dearth] and scarcity of fruits [cf. Q. 7:130]. Ask, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, the Israelites, about this (a [rhetorical] question meant as an affirmation for the idolaters of your sincerity; or [it means that] We said to him [Muhammad, s], 'Ask'; a variant reading has the past tense [fa-saa'ala, 'and he asked']), when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him, 'O Moses, I truly think that you are bewitched', duped, your mind deceived.
