(20:15) Indeed, the Hour is coming - I almost conceal it - so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives. (20:16) So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish. (20:17) And what is that in your right hand, O Moses?" (20:18) He said, "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I bring down leaves for my sheep and I have therein other uses." (20:19) [Allah] said, "Throw it down, O Moses." (20:20) So he threw it down, and thereupon it was a snake, moving swiftly. (20:21) [Allah] said, "Seize it and fear not; We will return it to its former condition. (20:22) And draw in your hand to your side; it will come out white without disease - another sign, (20:23) That We may show you [some] of Our greater signs. (20:24) Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed." (20:25) [Moses] said, "My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance] (20:26) And ease for me my task (20:27) And untie the knot from my tongue (20:28) That they may understand my speech.
