Commentary
And when the listener longed for the response of the Prophet of Allah, the Exalted, Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, he was answered by his saying: ﴿Musa said to them﴾, blessings and peace be upon him, meaning: he intended to nullify their magic because he cannot overcome it except by casting them down. Not merely by casting them down, being unconcerned with them in their multitude or knowledge [after] they had given him the choice, as in another part of this Surah: ﴿Cast what you are going to cast﴾, regardless of what it is, in disdain for it in relation to the command of Allah.
