The sorcerers seemed to be professional traders in sorcery whose standard of morality was very low.
Commentary:
The words, 'shall we have a reward if we are the winners,' show (1) that the magicians were professional sorcerers whose standard of morality was very low; and (2) that they were not sure of their success.

اِلْقَآء کے معنے اس طرح پھینکنے کے ہوتے ہیں کہ دوسرے اسے دیکھنے لگ جائیں۔ پھر عام استعمال میں صرف پھینکنے کے معنے رہ گئے (دیکھئے مفردات) پس اِلْقَآء کے معنے اصل میں یہی ہیں کہ جو کچھ دل میں ہے اسے سامنے لے آؤ تا کہ سب دیکھیں۔

فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
7:118; 20:70.
دیکھئے نوٹ سورۂ اعراف آیت۱۱۸۔ نیز سورۂ اعراف میں ہم نے اس آیت کا اور ترجمہ کیا ہے اس جگہ اور۔ اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ یہ دونوں معنے حقیقتاً ایک ہی ہیں۔
7:118; 20:70.
The verse makes it quite clear that the rod of Moses did not swallow the rods and ropes of the sorcerers but swallowed up all that which they had fabricated, i.e. it utterly destroyed their imposture, forgery and deception. Moreover, it was the rod itself and not the serpent which exposed the deception the sorcerers had wrought on the spectators by breaking to pieces the things which under the influence of their sorcery the spectators had taken for real serpents.
7:118; 20:70.
Important Words:
یأفکون (fabricated) is derived from أفک which means, he hid; he uttered a falsehood; he said what was not true; i.e. he fabricated or invented a lie. أفاک means, a great or habitual liar (Lane & Aqrab).
For تلقف see 7:118.
Commentary:
The verse makes it quite clear that the rod of Moses did not swallow the rods and ropes of the magicians but it "swallowed up all that which they had fabricated;" i.e. it utterly destroyed the imposture, forgery and deception of the magicians. Moreover, it was not the rod changed into a serpent which undid the magic of the magicians, but it was the rod itself which exposed the deception they had wrought on the spectators by breaking to pieces the things which under the influence of the magic the spectators had taken for real serpents.

Commentary:
The words "the Lord of Moses and of Aaron" being case in apposition to the words, "the Lord of all the worlds" in the preceding verse, signify that the magicians had realized that the Lord of Moses and Aaron was the Lord of the worlds i.e. He was on their side. So they at once believed in Him.

7:126; 20:73.
7:126; 20:73.
Important Words:
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.
