Surah Al-A'raf — Ayah 123 (7:123)

English translation (Saheeh International)

Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him¹ before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.

1. - i.e., in Moses, avoiding the mention of Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā).

Brief commentary

Pharaoh said threatening them because of their faith in Allah: 'Do you believe in Allah before I have given you permission to do so. This is only a trick you were deceiving people with, and a plot that you and Moses have planned to drive out the people of the city. But soon you will know what the consequences are and what an example I will make of you!'
