سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 81
فَلَمَّآ أَلْقَوْا۟ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحْرُ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۥٓ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿81﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Then when they had cast down, Mûsâ (Moses) said: "What you have brought is sorcery; Allâh will surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allâh does not set right the work of Al-Mufsidûn (the evil-doers, corrupters).

81. 1. Thus it happened. Can falsehood ever succeed against the truth? The magicians, no matter how much mastery they had attained in their art, whatever they presented was only magic and mere sleight of hand, and when Musa (Moses) ؑ threw his staff by Allah’s command, it eliminated all their tricks in an instant.
81. 2. And these magicians were also corrupters, who had learned the art of magic merely to earn worldly gains, and by performing magical tricks, they used to deceive people. How could Allah Almighty ever set right their corrupt actions?
