Reflection — Ibn Kathir
Between Fir`awn and the Sorcerers
His threats against them resulted only in an increase in their faith and submission to Allah, for the veil of disbelief had been lifted from their hearts and the truth became clear to them because they knew something that their people did not: that what Musa had done could not have been done by any human being unless Allah helped him, making it proof and an evidence of the truth of what he had brought from his Lord. Then Fir`awn said to them:
ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
They said, "There is no harm. We are to return to our Lord. (26:50)
