Indeed We profess belief in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins in the way of ascribing partners to God and otherwise and the sorcery to which you forced us to learn and to perform in order to oppose Moses. And God is better than you in rewarding if he is obeyed and more enduring’ than you in chastisement if he is disobeyed.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Lo! we believe in our Lord, that He may forgive us our sins) our idolatry (and the magic unto which thou didst force us) the magic which you coerced us to learn. (Allah is better and more lasting) that which is with Allah of reward and favour is better and more lasting that the wealth you give us.
