Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-A'raaf : 132
وَ قَالُوْا مَهْمَا تَاْتِنَا بِهٖ مِنْ اٰیَةٍ لِّتَسْحَرَنَا بِهَا١ۙ فَمَا نَحْنُ لَكَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ
And they said to Moses: 'Whatever sign you might produce before us in order to enchant us, we are not going to believe you.' 94 4
94. Pharaoh's courtiers obstinately persisted in branding Moses' signs as sorcery although they knew well that sorcery had nothing in common with the miraculous signs granted to Moses. Even a fool would not he ready to believe that the country-wide famine and the consistent decrease in agricultural output could have been caused by magic. It is for this reason that the Qur'an says: But when Our signs, which should have opened their eyes, came to them they said: 'This is clear sorcery! And they rejected those signs out of iniquity and arrogance even though they were inwardly convinced of it' (al-Naml 27: 13-14).
