Quick fact: The magicians remained steadfast in their faith and accepted martyrdom in the way of Allah despite Pharaoh's threats.

Explanation

When Prophet Musa علیہ السلام confronted the magicians and his staff swallowed all their magic, the magicians immediately prostrated and believed in Allah. Pharaoh, enraged, threatened them with crucifixion and cutting off their hands and feet. But the magicians said, 'We are returning to our Lord; do whatever you will.' Their faith was so firm that they accepted the death sentence rather than renounce their faith.

Good to know

This incident is mentioned in the Quran in Surah Ta-Ha and Surah Ash-Shu'ara. Pharaoh threatened to cut off their hands and feet from opposite sides and crucify them on palm trunks. The magicians replied, 'No harm; we are returning to our Lord,' and prayed to Allah for patience and death علیہ السلام Muslims.
