The Holy Quran 7:113 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

وَجَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ

Translation

(When) The magicians (were gathered together, they) came to Fir'oun and asked, "Will we receive some (grand) prize if we are victorious (over Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام)?"
