Commentary
We recited in the previous verse that respectable courtiers of Pharaoh
counseled him that Moses (peace be upon Him) has shown a strange and unusual
event of enchantment. There is a fear that He (peace be upon Him) will be able
to attract the masses very soon. And then, it will become difficult for us to
live here. It is better that His (peace be upon Him) competition should be
arranged with the wizards and He should be defeated in common gathering.
It is commanded that the people brought the old
expert wizards together from everywhere. As soon as they reached, they said to
Pharaoh at first: We shall win with your good fortune. Kindly confirm a tip and
our labor compensation even now, which should be given to us after success, so
that our hearts may be encouraged and we should try our best to succeed.
Pharaoh said: Yes, surely you shall be granted with
heavy compensation and reward along with it; that you shall be of those brought
specially near to me and selected individuals. The wizards were happy, turned
unto Moses (peace be upon Him) and said: Do you show first your jugglery or we should
show?
Human being does not hear any other before his talk.
He says: Why should I accept unnecessarily any other as superior to me while I
have everything? This stubbornness is found in those people, who get
accumulated with a lot of things of every kind and manpower strength, and the
people of lower class and the poor begin to consider them a source of their
respect by standing before them with folded hands. At that time, as it might be
possible, these rich people begin to determine for establishing their power of
influence forever. And they try to defeat the opponent of their dignity and
majesty as it could be.
In the story of Pharaoh and his chieftains,
an utter lesson exists for such people. A time comes when any such power
appears with the command of Allah Almighty, which is more powerful than their
wealth, equipage and Army, and due to which their entire game is over.
Truly: The fox knows much but more knows the one who catches him.
