ضیر is infinitive noun from ضار (aor یضیر). They say ضارہ i.e. it (a thing) harmed, injured, hurt or damaged him. ھذا مما لا یضیرکmeans, this is of the things that will not harm thee. لاضیر علیک means, no harm shall befall thee (Lane).
Commentary:
Pharaoh’s threat of inflicting violent death upon the magicians leaves them unrepentant and unafraid. On the contrary, the words of the verse seem to imply on their part a challenge to Pharaoh to do his worst. They do not care a hang for his threats. The sooner they die, they appear to be saying, the quicker will they meet their Lord; and the more painful their death, the greater will be their reward in the Hereafter. Faith indeed works wonders. The erstwhile professional magicians, who, a few minutes ago, were prepared to resort to any trick and subterfuge for the sake of filthy lucre had come to acquire a faith that could move mountains and defy death.
