Then he explained what was general in this warning by saying: ﴿I will surely cut off your hands﴾ meaning: the right one as an example ﴿and your feet﴾ meaning: the left one. Therefore, he explained it by saying: ﴿from opposite sides﴾ meaning: the side from which the hand is cut off - the side from which the foot is cut off.

And since the purpose of this surah is warning, it mentioned what happened to Musa, blessings and peace be upon him, and the magicians in a way that emphasizes the mention of what was from the matter of Fir'aun in a way that is close to that. He expressed it with a word of delay because in it - along with the elaboration that occupies its people from what astonished them from what they saw - is a magnification of the matter of crucifixion. It would be more terrifying for the magicians and for those who were shaken by it from his people. He said: ﴿Then I will surely crucify you﴾ meaning: I will hang you with your hands stretched out so that you will be in the form of a cross, or until your crucifixion drips, which is the oil that is in you ﴿all together﴾ meaning: I will not leave any of you to make you an example for others.
