قَالَ ءَامَنتُمۡ لَهُۥ قَبۡلَ أَنۡ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحۡرَ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَأَرۡجُلَكُم مِّنۡ خِلَٰفٖ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ ٤٩
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

Commentary on 26:49
(قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ) يقول جلّ ثناؤه: قال فرعون للذين كانوا سحرته فآمنوا: آمنتم لموسى بأن ما جاء به حق قبل أن آذن لكم في الإيمان به.( إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ) يقول: إن موسى لرئيسكم في السحر, وهو الذي علَّمكموه, ولذلك آمنتم به.( فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ) عند عقابي إياكم وبال ما فعلتم, وخطأ ما صنعتم من الإيمان به.
يقول لأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مخالفا في قطع ذلك منكم بين قطع الأيدي والأرجل, وذلك أن أقطع اليد اليمنى والرجل اليسرى, ثم اليد اليسرى والرجل اليمنى, ونحو ذلك من قطع اليد من جانب, ثم الرجل من الجانب الآخر, وذلك هو القطع من خلاف وَلأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ فوكد ذلك بأجمعين إعلاما منه أنه غير مُسْتَبْقٍ منهم أحدا.( قَالُوا لا ضَيْرَ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: قالت السحرة: لا ضير علينا; وهو مصدر من قول القائل: قد ضار فلانٌ فلانا فهو يضير ضيرا, ومعناه: لا ضرر.
وبنحو الذي قلنا في ذلك قال أهل التأويل.

26:40
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ ٤٠
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
26:41
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ ٤١
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
26:42

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
