Commentary
So they were thrown down, meaning: immediately after their action without delay. The magicians were prostrating, meaning: they prostrated with great speed, until it was as if someone had thrown them down without their choice due to the force of their hastiness. They knew that this was from Allah, so they became righteous and pious after they had come in the morning of that day as magicians.
