﴿قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (١٢١) رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ (١٢٢) قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَكَرْتُمُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوا مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ (١٢٣) لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ ثُمَّ لَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ (١٢٤) ﴾
﴿فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ﴾ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَمُجَاهِدٌ: ظَهَرَ الْحَقُّ، ﴿وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ﴾ ١٣٥/أمِنَ السِّحْرِ
