﴿ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِنْ عِندِنَا قَالُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُوتِىَ مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتِىَ مُوسَىٰ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ قَالُوا۟ سِحْرَانِ تَظَٰهَرَا وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِكُلٍّۢ كَٰفِرُونَ ﴾

“And yet, now that the truth has come unto them from Us, they say, “Why has he not been vouch­safed the like of what Moses was vouchsafed?” But did they not also, before this, deny the truth of what Moses was vouchsafed? [For] they do say, “Two examples of delusion, [seemingly] supporting each other!” And they add, “Behold, we refuse to accept either of them as true!””

But when the truth namely Muhammad (s) came to them from Us they said ‘Why has he not been given the like of what Moses was given?’ in the way of signs such as the glowing hand the staff and others or by having the Book revealed all at once. God exalted be He says And did they not disbelieve in what was given to Moses before?; before when they said regarding him and Muhammad (s) ‘Two sorcerers sāhirān; a variant reading has sihrān ‘two sorceries’ namely what they said regarding the Qur’ān and the Torah abetting each other.’ And they said ‘We indeed disbelieve in both’ the two prophets and the two Scriptures of Moses and Muhammad.
