Tafsir
And cast that which is in your right hand — and this was his staff. It shall swallow up that which they have produced. For what they have produced is only a sorcerer’s trick that is to say a kind thereof and the sorcerer does not succeed wherever he may go’ in his sorcery. So Moses cast his staff and it swallowed up all of that which they had produced.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Throw) to the ground (that which is in thy right hand) O Moses! (It will eat up) it will swallow (that which they have made) that which they have thrown of staffs and ropes. (Lo! that which they have made) that which they have thrown to the ground is (but a wizard's artifice, and a wizard shall not be successful) he shall not be safe nor escape Allah's chastisement or succeed (to whatever point (of skill) he may attain) wherever he is.
