➋ {فِيْ تِسْعِ اٰيٰتٍ …:} That is, these two miracles are among those nine (9) signs through which I helped you. For the details of these nine miracles, see Surah Bani Isra’il (17:101). Some have said that these two signs (the staff and the shining hand) were in addition to the nine (9) signs; in that case, {’’ فِيْ ‘‘} would mean {’’ مَعَ‘‘}, and the translation would be “along with nine miracles.” (Qurtubi)

[12] Then at the same place, Musa (peace be upon him) was granted the second miracle of the shining hand (Yad-e-Baiza). Its details have already been mentioned at earlier places and will come again later. These two great and clear miracles were among those nine miracles whose mention has already passed in the footnote of verse 101 of Surah Bani Isra'il. Thus, initially, by granting these two great miracles, Musa (peace be upon him) was sent as a Messenger towards Pharaoh and his people, because the people of Pharaoh had created great corruption in their land.
