Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Musa defeats the Magicians, Who believe in HimAllah states that at that tremendous moment, in which Allah differentiated between Truth and Falsehood, He sent a revelation to His servant and Messenger Musa, peace be upon him, ordering him to throw the stick that he held in his right hand, فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ(It swallowed straight away) and devoured, مَا يَأْفِكُونَ(all the falsehood which they showed.
