And We have put a seal upon their hearts, so that they hearken not. 100 Those villages We narrate their news to you. Their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, yet they would not believe what they had belied before; as such Allah seals the hearts of the unbelievers. 101 And We did not find in most of them any (faithfulness to) covenant, and We found most of them to be certainly transgressors. 102 Then We sent, after them, Musa with Our signs unto Fir'awn and his chiefs, but they wronged them.

I have now come unto you with a clear evidence from your Sustainer: let, then, the children of Israel go with me!" 105 (Pharaoh) said: "If indeed thou hast come with a Sign, show it forth,- if thou tellest the truth." 106 Then Moses threw down his staff and suddenly, unmistakably, it appeared as a serpent, 107 and he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared [shining] white to the beholders. 108
