﴿ وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّۭ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًۭا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ ۚ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّى لَا يَخَافُ لَدَىَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ ﴾

Throw down your staff’ and he threw it down. And when he saw it wriggling moving like a serpent a slender snake he turned his back in flight and did not come back. God exalted be He says ‘O Moses do not fear it. Surely in My presence before Me the messengers do not fear any snake or otherwise
