

ﱉ ﱊ ﱋ ﱌ ﱍ ﱎ ﱏ ﱐ ﱑ ﱒ ﱓ ﱔ

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

فلما جاء السحرة

So, when the sorcerers arrived, means, when they reached the court of Fir`awn, and a pavilion had been erected for him. There he gathered his servants, followers, administrators, and provincial leaders, and the soldiers of his kingdom. The sorcerers stood before Fir`awn, asking him to treat them well and bring them closer to him if they prevailed in this matter which he had brought them together for. They said:

قالوا لفرعون أين لنا ﻻجرا إن كنا نحن الغالبين

"Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners!''

قال نعم وإنكم إذا لمن المقربين
