Verse 63

2282

Commentary:

This verse shows that the warning which Moses held out to the magicians in the words, forge not a lie against Allah, had had its effect on them with the result that some of them seemed to have wavered and vacillated. The words, they argued their affair among themselves, indicate that disagreement arose between them whether or not they should oppose Moses. Therefore in order to come to a final decision whether they should enter the lists against him or should withdraw, they held a secret consultation.
