6 And thou art surely made to receive the Qur’ān from the Wise, the Knowing.

7 When Moses said to his family: Surely I see a fire; I will bring you news thence, or bring you therefrom a burning brand, so that you may warm yourselves.

8 So when he came to it, a voice issued, saying: Blessed is he who is in search of fire and those around it. And glory be to Allāh, the Lord of the worlds!

9 O Moses, surely I am Allāh, the Mighty, the Wise:

10 And cast down thy rod. So when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating and did not return. O Moses, fear not. Surely the messengers fear not in My presence —

11 Nor he who does wrong, then does good instead after evil; surely I am Forgiving, Merciful,

12 And put thy hand into thy bosom, it will come forth white without evil, among nine signs to Pharaoh and his people. Surely they are a transgressing people.

13 So when Our clear signs came to them, they said: This is clear enchantment.

14 And they denied them unjustly and proudly, while their souls were convinced of them. See, then, what was the end of the mischief-makers!

15 And certainly We gave knowledge to David and Solomon. And they said: Praise be to Allāh, Who has made us excel many of His believing servants!

16 And Solomon was David’s heir, and he said: O men, we have been taught the speech of birds, and we have been granted of all things. Surely this is manifest grace.

17 And his hosts of the jinn and the men and the birds were gathered to Solomon, and they were formed into groups.

18 Until when they came to the valley of the Naml, a Namlite said: O Naml, enter your houses, (lest) Solomon and his hosts crush you, while they know not.
