سُوْرَةُ الإِسۡرَاءِ
Surah Al-Israa (17) — Ayah 101
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ تِسْعَ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ ۖ فَسْـَٔلْ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُۥ فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّى لَأَظُنُّكَ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ مَسْحُورًا ﴿101﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And indeed We gave Mûsâ (Moses) nine clear signs. Ask then the Children of Israel, when he came to them, then Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) said to him: "O Mûsâ (Moses)! I think you are indeed bewitched."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
11. 1. These are the nine miracles: the hand, the staff, famine, deficiency of fruits, the storm, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood. Imam Hasan Basri says that famine and deficiency of fruits are one and the same thing, and the ninth miracle is the staff swallowing the magic tricks of the magicians. Prophet Musa ﷺ was given other miracles as well, such as striking the staff on the stone, from which twelve springs gushed forth, the shading of clouds, manna and quails, etc. But here, by "Ayat-e-Tis'ah" (the nine signs), only those nine miracles are meant which were witnessed by Pharaoh and his people. That is why Ibn Abbas ؓ has also counted the splitting of the sea (the sea parting to make a way) among these nine miracles, and has counted famine and deficiency of fruits as one miracle. In a narration of Tirmidhi, the details of the nine signs are stated differently, but that narration is weak in chain, so by "Ayat-e-Tis'ah" these mentioned miracles are meant.
