And indeed We sent Moosa along with Our signs towards Firaun and his chieftains – he therefore said, “Indeed I am a Noble Messenger of the Lord of the Creation.” 46 Then when he came unto them with Our signs, behold! at them they were laughing. 47 (Even though) each miracle that We showed them was greater than the other. So We seized them with chastisement so that they may turn back. 48 They said, "Magician, pray to your Lord for us through your covenant with Him (If he saves us from the torment), we shall certainly seek guidance". 49 But when We had relieved them of their punishment they broke their promise. 50 Pharaoh called to his people, "My people, is the Kingdom of Egypt not mine? And these rivers that flow at my feet, are they not mine? Do you not see? 51 Am I not better than this lowly man who can barely express himself? 52 But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions? 53 Then he incited his people and they obeyed him; verily they were ever a transgressing people. 54 When at length they provoked Us, We exacted retribution from them, and We drowned them all. 55 and We made them a thing past, and We appointed them for an example to later folk. 56
