The Holy Quran 26:45 — Surah Ash-Shu'ara

Arabic text

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Translation

Then Moosa threw his staff, which (turned into a real snake and) instantly swallowed what (snakes) they conjured (the optical illusions which made the people think that the snakes were real).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The staff of Musa ﵇ swallows the snakes: Shaykh al-Akbar [Ibn Arabi] ﵀ has written that the bare ropes and staffs remained, while the snake forms they had produced were swallowed by the staff of Musa ﵇.
