The Holy Quran 20:69 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَـٰحِرٍ ۖ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ

Translation

"Throw down what is in your right hand and it will devour (swallow) what they have faked. They have merely faked the plot of a magician, and a magician will never succeed (prosper against the truth) wherever he goes." (As instructed, Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام threw down his staff which ate up all the snakes of the magicians.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The command to throw the staff on the ground: that is, throw your staff on the ground; it will swallow up in one go the show they have contrived. The sorcerer does not succeed: that is, the tricks of the sorcerer, wherever they may be and to whatever extent they may reach, cannot succeed against the truth, nor can the sorcerer ever succeed.
