فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَۃُ قَالَ لَہُمۡ مُّوۡسٰۤی اَلۡقُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّلۡقُوۡنَ

7:117; 20:67; 26:44.
Commentary:
This verse, as may be wrongly construed, does not mean that on seeing the sorcerers Moses became prepared to meet them in the contest. He knew that they were mere sorcerers and that whatever they might do would be useless and unworthy of his notice. He therefore treated them with the contempt they deserved by saying, Cast ye what you would cast, hinting that their sorcery was not worthy of notice. He, however, did not think it proper to refuse to accept their challenge outright, knowing that when the actual contest began the hollowness of their work would itself become exposed and it would then be time for him to bring home to them the falsity of their work. This he actually did, as is announced by him in the succeeding verse, What you have brought is mere sorcery. Surely, Allah will make it vain.

قَالَ بَلۡ اَلۡقُوۡا ۖ فَاِذَا حِبَالُہُمۡ وَعِصِیُّہُمۡ یُخَیَّلُ اِلَیۡہِ مِنۡ سِحۡرِہِمۡ اَنَّہَا تَسۡعٰی
7:117; 26:44.
7:117.
God’s Prophets never take the offensive. They wait till they are attacked and then they defend themselves.
The cords and staves of the magicians appeared to Moses only as though they ran about. Actually they did nothing of the kind. The forces of evil at first appear to carry the day for a short while, but they soon come to grief.
7:117; 26:44.
7:117.
Important Words:
عصیھم (their staves). عصی is the plural of عصا which means: (1) a piece of wood on which one reclines, a stick, a stave; a party; the tongue (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The words "Nay, cast ye", show that the Prophets of God never take the offensive. They wait till they are attacked and then they defend themselves.

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۔
