Translation

Moses said, "Do you say [thus] about the truth when it has come to you? Is this magic? But magicians will not succeed."

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Moses said to them in disapproval: Are you calling the truth, when it has come to you, magic? Never! This is not magic. I know that a magician can never be successful, so why would I practise magic?
