The Holy Quran 28:31 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

وَأَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ أَقْبِلْ وَلَا تَخَفْ ۖ إِنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْـَٔامِنِينَ

Translation

"Throw down your staff." When (Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام threw it down,) he saw it writhing (quivering) like a (thin) snake, (because of which) he turned on his heels (retreated) without looking back (so that the snake should not attack him). (Allaah said to him) "O Moosa! Come forward and do not fear. You are certainly among the safe ones." (Allaah then instructed him to grab hold of the snake. When he did this, it turned back into a staff.)
