Al-Mukhtasar

The sorcerers said to Pharaoh: We shall not prefer following you, O Pharaoh, over following the clear signs that have come to us. We will not prefer you to Allah, Who created us. So do whatever you want to us. You only have authority over us in this temporary life, and your authority will vanish.
