1. Pharaoh was in a rage, and his accusations shifted from Moses to the sorcerers and he accused them of being mad and of plotting against the homeland. He said to them: How did you believe in Moses before you took my permission to do so?! Faith is the work of the heart, and it is the heart’s concern that no one but its owner can control it.
2. The magicians were accused of two charges: The first charge: Conspiring with Moses against the homeland.
(Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? This must be a conspiracy you devised in the city to drive out its people, but soon you will see. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.( Al-A’raf 7: 122-124
The second accusation: Learning magic from the Prophet of Allah, Moses.
3. Accordingly, he immediately issued an order to cut off the magicians’ right hand and left leg on opposite sides, and that they had to be killed and crucified on palm trees to frighten people, so they would not believe in Moses, peace be upon him.
(Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? He must be your master who taught you magic. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and crucify you on the trunks of palm trees. You will really see whose punishment is more severe and more lasting.”) (Ta-Ha 20:71)
Pharaoh was angry that the magicians believed in Allah and prostrated to Him without getting his permission, so he threatened to crucify them on the trees and cut off their hands and feet on opposite sides.
(Pharaoh threatened, “How dare you believe in him before I give you permission? He must be your master who taught you magic, but soon you will see. I will certainly cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, then crucify you all.”) (Ash-Shu’ara 26:46)
خرج فرعون عن صوابه فحول تهمته للسحرة بعد أن كان يتهم موسى بالجنون والتآمر على الوطن، قال للسحرة: كيف آمنتم بموسى قبل أن تأخذوا إذنًا بذلك؟!
مع أن الإيمان عمل قلبي وشأن القلب ألا يسيطر عليه أحد إلا صاحبه.
اتهم السحرة بتهمتين
التهمة الأولى: التآمر مع موسى على الوطن
“قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَكْرٌ مَكَرْتُمُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لِتُخْرِجُوا مِنْهَا أَهْلَهَا فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ” (الأعراف 7: 122-124)
التهمة الثانية: أنهم أخذوا السحر من نبي الله موسى
وبناء على ذلك أصدر حكمًا فوريا بتقطيع أيدي السحرة اليمنى وأرجلهم اليسرى، أو العكس-اليد اليسرى والرجل اليمنى- وقتلهم وصلبهم وتعليقهم على النخل لتخويف الناس من الإيمان بموسى عليه السلام.
قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِي جُذُوعِ النَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ أَيُّنَا أَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَأَبْقَى”.(طه 20: 71)
غضب فرعون أن السحرة آمنوا و سجدوا لله دون إذنه فتوعد أن يصلبهم على الأشجار و يقطع أيديهم و الأرجل المعاكسة
قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ (الشعراء 26: 49)
