This part is conversation between Prophet Musa and the sorcerer. The sorcerers asked Prophet Musa “O Moses wilt thou throw [first], or shall we have
the [first] throw?.” Prophet Musa, replied the question from the sorcerers, “Throw first whatever you are going to throw.” As in the interpretation above, there are
intended meaning on what Prophet Musa said. He wanted to show them clearly, as manifesting the truth.
Based on his utterances, the way of Prophet Musa expressed his intention is directly, whenever there is relationship between structure of sentence and its
function, which imperative refers to command or request. Moreover, regarding the contribution of Cooperative Principle, he answered
clearly, orderly manner and informatively quantity, neither more nor less information. Thus, he adhere the maxim of manner and quantity.
What Prophet Musa has said comes true. In the next verse 117, Allah asked Prophet Musa to throw his staff. When Musa throw the staff that he held in his
right hand, it manifest snake, swallowed all the staff that the magicians threw, then held it in his hand, and it became a staff again just as it was before. In this
tremendous moment, Allah differentiated between Truth and Falsehood. The sorcery that Prophet Musa caused appear real, whereas the sorcery that the
sorcerer caused is the illusion Batil, in which it was not real at all. In other words, it became clear that Moses was right and that which the sorcerers were
fizzled away and they were humiliated. Therefore, what Prophet Musa did is as manifesting the truth.

punishment today, so that we are saved from Allah’s torment.”
