(132. They said ﴿to Musa﴾: "Whatever Ayat you may bring to us, to work therewith your sorcery on us, we shall never believe in you.'') (133. So We sent on them: the Tuwfan, the locusts, the Qummal, the frogs, and the blood (as a succession of) manifest signs, yet they remained arrogant, and they were of those people who were criminals.) (134. And when the punishment struck them, they said: "O Musa! Invoke your Lord for us because of His promise to you. If you remove the punishment from us, we indeed shall believe in you, and we shall let the Children of Israel go with you.'') (135. But when We removed the punishment from them for a fixed term, which they had to reach, behold! They broke their word!)
